ABSTRACT:
A cardiac pacer is provided which incorporates a sensor responsive to the physical activity of the pacer-wearing patient. The output of the physical activity sensor is utilized by control circuitry of a physiological sensor to enable the physiological sensor to monitor a selected physiological parameter only if the physical activity of the pacer-wearing patient exceeds a selected threshold. In this manner, the electrical energy requirements of the pacer are lessened.
