ABSTRACT:
A cardiac rhythm management system detects hypotension, such as by using thoracic impedance to detect a fluid shift away from the thorax. In response to an episode of detected hypotension, it increases a pacing rate response factor mapping a metabolic need to an indicated pacing rate provided by the system. The metabolic need is indicated by an accelerometer, a respiration sensor, or other metabolic need sensor indicating a subject's need for adjusting cardiac output.
