Abstract/OtherAbstract:
A rate-adjusting pacemaker system is described which uses central venous oxygen saturation (SO2) for the regulation of the pacing rate. This system was tested externally in ten patients with chronically implanted VVI units. There was an average increase in cardiac output of 18% with the SO2-regulated pacemaker as compared to the situation during fixed rate stimulation. Central venous oxygen saturation appears to be an ideal biological parameter for autoregulating the pacing rate. It represents the only sensor suitable for the realization of a closed feedback loop concept.
