Rate Adaptive Cardiac Pacing

Abstract

Rate adaptation to exercise and non-exercise requirements is an important means by which a physiological pacing system can optimise haemodynamics [1, 2], symptomatology [3,4], quality of life [5], hormonal function [6] and circadian blood pressure variability [7] in patients with bradycardia. However, in order for an implantable sensor to function optimally, judicious programming and follow up of these patients are mandatory. Besides routine assessment of battery and electrode status like the follow up of all conventional pacemaker recipients, special attention to the sensor and algorithms of rate adaptation will be necessary (Table 1).
