专利汇可以提供Synchronized atrial and ventricular pacer and timing circuitry therefor专利检索,专利查询,专利分析的服务。并且There is disclosed an atrial and ventricular pacer which features a unique pacer timing circuit dependent upon voltage supply level only under certain conditions, and in which the atrial and ventricular pulsing circuits are synchronized to each other even if the ventricular beat detector fails or ventricular beat signals are masked by noise. In prior art pacers of this type, in the event the pacer operates in the continuous mode both pulsing circuits operate independently of each other. But in the present pacer the generation of a ventricular stimulating pulse re-starts the atrial timing period.,下面是Synchronized atrial and ventricular pacer and timing circuitry therefor专利的具体信息内容。
