Abstract
A method and an apparatus for performing rate responsive control in an implantable medical device using a scaling factor. Sensor data is acquired using a sensor operatively coupled with the implantable medical device. At least one setpoint for controlling a rate of therapy is generated, the setpoint being based upon the sensor data. A scaling factor adjustment process is performed for scaling the internal sensor data to correlate the sensor data to the setpoint. The rate of therapy is adjusted based upon the scaling factor adjustment.
