Potential unintended rate response to arm swing with Biorate RDP3; hypothesis-generating for sensor cross-talk, needing prospective validation.
Does the Biorate RDP3 respiratory-dependent pacemaker respond to nonrespiratory signals like upper limb movement in patients with implanted devices?
The Biorate RDP3 respiratory-dependent pacemaker is sensitive to nonrespiratory signals, specifically upper limb movement, which is most pronounced when the ipsilateral arm is swung.
Webb et al. (1988) studied this question.
