ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac pacemaker is provided for delivering pacing pulses to a patient, where the pacing pulses are defined by at least two parameters. The pacemaker allows for transitioning of the two parameters from first values to second values in response to the patient's circadian rhythms, such as in response to the beginning and ending of a sleep cycle. Also provided is an implantable pacemaker for delivering pacing pulses to a patient where the pacing pulses are defined by at least one parameter. The pacemaker allows for selective transitioning of the parameter from a first value to a second value in response to the patient's circadian rhythms.
