although faster eigenrhythms than the lowest adjustable pacemaker frequency are present. The pacemaker device switches to this lowest frequency (idR. 30min) and slowly increases the sensing in milliVolt until the own actions are no longer recognized and the pacemaker stimulates with 30 independent of the own actions of the heart. The highest setting at which self actions have just been detected is the sensing threshold. The final setting should be at half of the sensing threshold to enable the detection of extrasystoles with possibly lower potentials. The setting should not be too low to avoid inhibition of the pacemaker by muscle potentials.
