Key result
A temperature-sensitive cardiac pacemaker increased cardiac output in dogs from 2.37 +/- 0.65 l/min at 37.6 degrees C to 4.54 +/- 1.15 l/min at 41 degrees C.

Should not change clinical pacing practice; leaves open whether temperature-sensitive devices can safely augment output in patients.
Absolute Event Rate: 4.54% vs 2.37%
Sugiura et al. (1983) studied this question. Temperature-sensitive cardiac pacemaker was evaluated on Cardiac output. A temperature-sensitive cardiac pacemaker increased cardiac output in dogs from 2.37 +/- 0.65 l/min at 37.6 degrees C to 4.54 +/- 1.15 l/min at 41 degrees C.
