Pacing mode triggered when ventricular oversensing is detected, providing backup pacing to prevent asystole during sensi...
ventricular tachyarrhythmia
Fast, abnormal heart rhythms originating in the ventricles that ICDs are designed to detect and treat.
VF zone
The highest rate detection zone in an ICD programmed to detect ventricular fibrillation and deliver high-energy shocks.
VVI pacing
