Rate-responsive cardiac pacemakers.

AACN Clinical Issues in Critical Care Nursing

|February 1, 1991

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Rate-responsive pacemakers adjust pacing rates using physiologic sensors to mimic normal heart function. Continued research will determine the best sensor technology for optimal hemodynamic response.
