Abstract
Exertion levels of a patient are measured by monitoring signals from adaptive-rate sensors such as an accelerometer and or a minute ventilation sensor; sensor data is collected for conversion into metabolic equivalent measurements. The data obtained can be used to evaluate patient physical activity levels and can be used to assess the patient's condition and change pacing therapy or other treatments accordingly. An automatic adjustment of the adaptive-rate pacing therapy may be based on the activity levels detected by the metabolic equivalent measurements made by the pacemaker.
