Supports rate-responsive pacing for exertional needs; leaves open sensor-specific RCTs before guiding practice.
Do rate responsive pacemakers improve exercise tolerance and cardiac output in patients requiring pacing?
Rate responsive pacemakers, utilizing various sensor technologies, effectively increase pacing rate to improve exercise tolerance and cardiac output.
Fearnot et al. (1986) studied this question.
