ABSTRACT:
A cardiac pacer which generates pacing pulses at a predetermined pacing rate, includes a device for generating an alternating signal which is unable to pace the heart. The pacing pulses and the alternating signal are transmitted together to the heart. The alternating signal after transmittal to the heart is measured and processed such that a respiratory signal is obtained. The predetermined pacing rate is then varied dependent on the respiratory signal.
