Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In this scenario, the DDD pacemaker should be programmed to sense the patient's intrinsic P waves and deliver QRS complexes to follow those P waves within a preset rate range. This ensures that the pacemaker is functioning in synchrony with the patient's own rhythm and supports the patient's cardiac function while maintaining hemodynamic stability. Options A and B would not be appropriate as they would ignore the intrinsic P waves and potentially override the patient's natural cardiac rhythms. Option D is also incorrect as it would leave the patient without any cardiac stimulation.
