Abstract
Process of control of the base frequency of a cardiac pacemaker having at least one sensor monitoring a physiological parameter. Rest phases and resumption of activity phases are detected to adapt automatically the base frequency of the pacemaker to the relative periods of rest and activity of the patient. Thus, the base frequency is allowed to decrease below the normally programmed base frequency in response to actual patient rest, to encourage a low spontaneous cardiac rhythm to inhibit pacing.
