Various sensor systems that indicate the hypermetabolic state have been used to provide input signals for controlling rate responsive pacing systems. The sensitivity of an indicator may be related directly or indirectly to metabolic requirements. Metabolic, respiratory, and cardiac dynamics during exercise have been described. Direct measurement of oxygen consumption provides the best index of work rate and exercise capacity. In pacemaker-dependent patients, heart rate is not an independent… CONTINUE READING
