What is Ara Pacis?

They write new content and verify and edit content received from contributors. Ara Pacis, also called Ara Pacis Augustae (Latin: “Altar of the Augustan Peace”), shrine consisting of a marble altar in a walled enclosure erected in Rome’s Campus Martius (Field of Mars) in honour of the emperor Augustus and dedicated on Jan. 30, 9 bce.

When should pacing be inhibited?

The inhibition of pacing is appropriate when there is intrinsic cardiac activity; the presence of spontaneous atrial or ventricular activity should inhibit pacing in the chamber with activity. However, sensing of spontaneous atrial activity (P-waves) without subsequent ventricular activity (QRS) should result in pacing in the ventricles.

Can a pacemaker change settings?

A pacemaker can, based on pre-programmed algorithms, change its settings. For example, a DDD can switch to DDI if there is atrial fibrillation. The pacemaker makes continuous analyzes of atrial activity to assess whether it needs to change settings. Placing a magnet on the pulse generator will affect its functions.

What is Asynchronous Pacing?

Such a pacemaker stimulates with a fixed frequency, regardless of intrinsic cardiac activity. This is called asynchronous pacing because it is not synchronized with intrinsic cardiac activity. Similarly, VOO provides asynchronous pacing in the ventricle, and DOO provides asynchronous pacing in the atria and ventricles.
