Abstract
A rate adaptive pacer designed to accommodate changes in a patient's metabolic demand utilizes ventricular ejection fraction (EF) as the rate controlling parameter. Ejection fraction is measured by sensing intracardiac impedance at end-diastole and end-systole and then using these measurements to compute stroke volume (SV). Ejection fraction is the stroke volume divided by the end-diastolic volume. This calculated value of EF is processed by the pacemaker to determine the escape interval (pacing rate) through a simple conversion algorithm.
