ABSTRACT:
A cardiac pacemaker which generates stimulus pulses and senses the occurrence of natural heartbeats in a patient. The pacemaker provides for a mode of pacing rate control which tracks naturally conducted heartbeats, and responds to premature ventricular contractions. The escape interval of the pacemaker, after either a paced beat or a natural contraction, is determined by the immediately preceding escape interval, and increases with each heartbeat cycle until a predetermined lower rate is reached.
