Abstract

See full text

An implantable cardiac rhythm management device includes an accelerometer along with apparatus for processing the analog signal output from the accelerometer for deriving therefrom the time of occurrence of a selected heart sound in relation to a previously occurring ventricular depolarization event. The thus-derived heart sound information can be used to establish a hemodynamic upper rate limit for a rate adaptive pacemaker.
