Hi All,

Hope someone can answer this query for me,

Device in VVI,  Ventrical sense >99%

Ventrical pace <1%.

Thanks if you can let me know,

What's the question?

VVI == (V)entricle pacing (V)entricle sensing (I)nhibit pacing on sense

So, it sits there looking for a heartbeat, when it finds it, it inhibits pacing.  If it doesn't see it in some predertermined time, it generates a ventricular pacing pulse - the minimum heart rate.

So, you're sensing a beat 99% of the time and pacing 1%.  99% of the time, your pacemaker is doing nothing but watching.

You know you're wired when...

You can feel your fingers and toes again.

I just want to share about the quality of life after my pacemaker, and hopefully increase awareness that lifestyles do not have to be drastically modified just because we are pacemaker recipients.
