The electronic characteristics of a new universal (DDD) pulse generator can result in significant shortening of the atrial cycle length (A‐A interval) and shortening of the atrioventricular (A‐V) interval beyond the programmed values. These pacemaker arrhythmias are entirely compatible with normal function and must not be interpreted as malfunctions.
