ABSTRACT:
A stimulator for providing stimulus pulses to the SA nodal fat pad, in response to heart rate exceeding a predetermined level, in order to reduce the ventricular rate. The device is also provided with a cardiac pacemaker to pace the ventricle in the event that the stimulus pulses reduce the heart rate below a predetermined value. The device is also provided with a feedback regulation mechanism for controlling the parameters of the stimulation pulses applied to the AV nodal fat pad, as a result of their determined effect on heart rate.
