  • Title: Increasing cardiac rate by tracking the respiratory rate.
    Author: Rossi P, Aina F, Rognoni G, Occhetta E, Plicchi G, Prando MD.
    Journal: Pacing Clin Electrophysiol; 1984 Nov; 7(6 Pt 2):1246-56. PubMed ID: 6209666.
    Abstract:
    The rate responsive pacemaker using respiratory rate as a sensor was implanted in 22 patients, 19 patients for ventricular pacing and three for atrial pacing. The level of exercise achieved with this system was consistently higher than with a fixed ventricular pacing rate. In addition, no special chemical or mechanical sensors are required; the sensor itself is simple, long-lasting, and energy efficient. Thus, this system adapts easily to the individual patient.
