Pacemaker rhythm in VVI mode at 90 bpm. Intrinsic rhythm is AF

Explanation:
The patient has AF (atrial fibrillation, as well said Alvaro) and has a pacemaker implanted, which is programmed in VVI mode (meaning it can only sense and pace the right ventricle). The PM rate is 90 bpm, meaning that the right ventricle is paced 90 times per minute (which is rather high, but anyway, that's what it says....).

Suerte Francesca :-)

pacemaker rate in VVI mode at 90 bpm. AF as base rate.

Explanation:
VVI is used as such in English and is used for designating a ventricular demand pacer. For example, AAI will be used for a atrial demand pacer. You can have a pacemaker with different modes so the stimulus works on different heart chambers.

Some further explanations:
AAT Triggered by atrial depolarization giving reinforcing stimulus to the atrium.

VOO Asynchronous ventricular pacemaker.

VVI Demand pacemaker inhibited by ventricular depolarization.

VVT Triggered by ventricular depolarization giving a reinforcing stimulus to the ventricles.

DVI Stimulating both chambers sequentially but inhibited by ventricular polarization.

AF: Atrial Fibrillation

I am attaching some extracts from the Web where you can find the use of \"intrinsic rhythm\" which seems to be the heart rate without intervention of external signals and base rate, which seems to be the minimun rate at which a pacemaker can be programmed.
Note that all the references are specialized web sites.

During periods when the patient is at rest and the sensor detects no level of activity, or other parameters that may indicate a need for above base rate pacing, the VEI regulates the output of the device. If no intrinsic R waves are identified before the VEI (also known as the Pacing Interval) clock cycle completes, the pacemaker with give an output at the basic programmed rate. This is known as \"base rate\" pacing.
http://www.studio-delos.com/brady/brady2.htm

This allows communication between the pacemaker and the heart helping in sensing increases or decreases in activity. The problem occurs because the pacemaker is set using a minimum base rate. When a person goes to sleep instead of dropping to where the heart rate should be, the heart rate goes to the minimum rate.

Nervous control of heart rate

The muscle that makes up the walls of the heart is unusual in that it does not require nervous stimulation in order to contract. In the very early embryo, cells that are destined to become the heart begin contracting rhythmically long before the organ forms. They have intrinsic rhythmicity. An adult heart removed from the body will continue to contract as long as it is bathed in a suitably oxygen rich fluid. The intrinsic rhythm is the rate at which it beats when isolated from the nervous and hormonal control of the body and is about sixty beats per minute.
http://learningat.ke7.org.uk/scienceweb/alevel/biology/AS In...

St. Jude Medical\'s AF Suppression technology is designed to continuously monitor intrinsic atrial activity and stimulate the atrium slightly above the patient\'s intrinsic rhythm in an attempt to \"control\" the atrium, thereby suppressing the onset of paroxysmal and persistent AF and their associated symptoms.
http://www.pslgroup.com/dg/204F1A.htm

Another definition was reported as part of a manuscript by Hayes, Graham , Irwin, taken from PACE July 1992, Volume 15, No.7, pages 969-1097, in which it is stated that \" pacemaker dependence was defined as the absence of any intrinsic rhythm for 30 seconds after the pacemaker had been programmed to the lowest programmable rate possible, i.e., 30-40 beats/min.
http://www.hrt.org/pages/cwgcpASexp.html

Regulation of Pacemaker Activity

The SA node displays intrinsic automaticity (spontaneous pacemaker activity) at a rate of 100-110 action potentials (\"beats\") per minute. This intrinsic rhythm is primarily influenced by autonomic nerves with vagal influences being dominant over sympathetic influences at rest. This \"vagal tone\" brings the resting heart rate down to 60-80 beats/min. Heart rate is increased by sympathetic activation with concomitant inhibition of vagal tone.
