Initial experience with a physiological, rate responsive pacemaker.
A new pacemaker that can adapt the heart rate in response to the patient's metabolic requirements has been developed. This pacemaker uses the QT interval as the indicator of physiological demand. Experience in five patients showed the rate response to exercise to be smooth and progressive and to return gradually to the basic paced rate after activity stopped. Physiological rate responsive pacin...
متن کاملInitial experience with dual-sensor rate-responsive pacemakers in children.
The efficacy of a new single-chamber, rate-responsive pacemaker that utilizes information from two sensors, activity and stimulus to T wave, was evaluated in 15 children during a mean follow-up period of 10.3 +/- 3.3 months (range 5-16 months). There were 10 males and five females, with a mean age of 5.9 +/- 3.8 years (range 9 months-16 years). The indication for pacing was high grade atriovent...
متن کاملInitial experience with an autocapture pacemaker system.
INTRODUCTION Autocapture management aims to extend pacemaker longevity without compromising on patient safety by automatically monitoring the pacing threshold and adjusting the pacemaker output for consistent capture. This paper describes our initial experience with the Pacesetter Regency pacemaker with autocapture management. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nineteen patients were implanted with single...
متن کاملExperimental Experience With a Micromodule Pacemaker Receiver
SINCE WEIRICH and associates introduced a method of artificial internal pacing for the treatnment of complete heart block following injury to the conduction system during open-heart surgery, there has been a rapid growth of interest in the procedure for use with both medical and postoperative patients.' Furman et al. have described an arrangemnent which employs an insulated coiiductor passed th...
متن کاملComparison of the normal sinus node with seven types of rate responsive pacemaker during everyday activity.
The heart rate response of 59 patients aged 17-79 years implanted with seven different types of rate responsive pacemakers was evaluated during graded exercise treadmill testing and during standardised daily activities. The heart rate response in patients with pacemakers was compared with the chronotropic response in 20 healthy controls of similar age and sex distribution who performed identica...
