Abstract

See full text

A rate adaptive pacemaker system, and method of operation, is provided which has a pacemaker which generates pacing pulses at a controlled pacing rate as a function of at least one monitored patient variable. The correlation of pacing rate with the patient variable is nonlinear, or dynamic, and is adapted to actual patient conditions. The value of the relationship between the pacing rate and the monitoring variable is determined at the lower rate limit and the upper rate limit, and the dynamic characteristic between these limits is automatically adjusted.
