"Rate Adaptive Cardiac Pacing" provides a comprehensiveoverview of this most advanced form of stimulating the heartby means of cardiac pacemakers that vary the pacing rateaccording to the needs of the patients. The heart rate iscontrolled by one or several sensors that detect variousparameters such as respiration,blood temperature, oxygensaturation, intracardiac pressure, QT interval, strokevolume andbody activity. Besides describing the clinicaland functional characteristics of these various sensors, thebook also gives a clear understanding of hemodynamic aspectsand in particular, all clinical issues of importance such asindications for rate adaptive pacing and selection of theappropriate patients for rate adaptive pacemakers, with manyECG samples. The book also covers new concepts in rateadaptive pacing such as single lead atrial synchronouspacing and the combination of various sensors, which areamong the most recent developments in the field. Withcontributions from the most wellknown experts in the fieldfrom allover the world, this book is the first publicationto cover all the hemodynamic, clinical and technical aspectsof rate adaptive cardiac pacing.
