ABSTRACT:
A device for use in conjunction with a pulse generator is disclosed which provides a variable pulsing rate in response to short term variations in arterial blood pressure, like the baroreceptor system of the healthy body's cardiovascular system. The system utilizes a pressure transducer implanted together with the pacemaker, the transducer is preferably located on the proximal axillary artery. The system features quick response based on physiological need, and also includes a reset feature which maintains a normal resting heart rate despite long term changes in blood pressure.
