Abstract
Hemodynamic sensors of implantable pacemakers are designed to record the intensity of myocardial mechanical activity to allow estimation of the current state of the inotropic cardiac regulation [1]. This information is generally used to drive a rate-responsive system, relying on the physiological correlation between cardiac rate and contractility [2, 3]. However, the assessment of ventricular contraction based on hemodynamic evidence might also have important applications in the surveillance of pacing effectiveness [4]. Such a control system would enhance patient safety and allow a reduction in the stimulation energy, increasing the lifetime of the implanted device.
