Abstract
Described herein are implantable medical systems, and methods for use therewith, that provide a temperature based rate response for a patient within which the implantable medical system is implanted. Such a method can include sensing a blood temperature signal indicative of a core body temperature of the patient, and producing a relative temperature signal based on the blood temperature signal. The method can further include producing a moving baseline temperature signal based on the relative temperature signal, producing a proportional response signal based on the relative temperature signal and the moving baseline temperature signal, and producing a sensor indicated rate response signal based on the proportional response signal and a base rate. The sensor indicated rate response signal can also be based on a dip response signal and/or a slope response signal. Additionally, a pacing rate is controlled based on the sensor indicated rate response signal.
