Re: Pacemaker "mode change"

I wear a pacemaker, implanted three years ago against bradycardia, and
have intermittent afib with 0 to 1 episodes monthly, lasting from a
few hours to a couple of days.

Reading the printouts released upon my periodical pacemaker controls,
I notice that the detected "mode changes" are a lot more than the
detected "atrial high frequency episodes" (frequency indicated as
"over 400").
Can you explain such apparent non-correlation between those two event
categories?

It is likely that the parameter for mode switch would be an atrial rate
that is over something considerably less than 400.

One more question: I hearsay that a pacemaker cannot detect
tachycardia events with frequency in the range of 100-110.
Is that correct?

No.

May GOD continue to heal your heart, dear neighbor whom I love
unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,
