Is Rate-Adaptive Ventricular Pacing Already Obsolete?

  • Conference paper
Rate Adaptive Cardiac Pacing

Abstract

Pacing from the right ventricular apex was first introduced into clinical practice in 1958. Since then, a tremendous technological development has been introduced, leading to the use of more physiological pacing systems including single pacing units with rate-responsive function and atrial synchronous pacing systems with or without rate-responsive mode.
