ABSTRACT:
A system and method for a pacemaker are provided, for monitoring cardiac performance and adjusting a pacing regime to ensure hemodynamically optimal pacing therapy. The pacemaker includes a sensor for measuring a physiological parameter as an indicator of cardiac performance. A processing system dithers various programmable pacing parameters and notes the resulting changes in cardiac performance. The processor analyzes the changes in cardiac performance corresponding to changes in the pacing parameters and selects those parameters resulting in maximum cardiac performance. An activity sensor may be provided to allow the processing system to consider the activity level of a patient when determining a hemodynamically optimal pacing regime.
