ABSTRACT:
A cardiac pacer which generates pacing pulses at a predetermined pacing rate includes a device for making a body activity measurement. The measured body activity signal is non-linearly amplified such that signal portions having higher amplitudes are more amplified than signal portions having lower amplitudes. The non-linearly amplified body activity signal is integrated over a period of time. The predetermined pacing rate is varied dependent on the integrated signal.
