Adaptive-rate Pacing
In adaptive-rate pacing modes, sensors are used to detect changes in
the patient’s metabolic demand and increase the pacing rate accordingly.
Adaptive-rate pacing is intended for patients who exhibit chronotropic
incompetence and who would benefit from increased pacing rates that are
concurrent with physical activity.
When adaptive-rate parameters are programmed, the pacing rate increases
in response to increased activity, then decreases a s the activity returns to a
resting level.
