ABSTRACT:
A device for use as a rate-responsive pacemaker is disclosed in which the pacing interval is controlled by the average amplitude of a raw signal generated by a suitable physiological sensor and processed by an average amplitude converter to generate an output average amplitude signal coupled to the pacemaker control circuits to adjust the pacing interval. The average amplitude converter may be a rectifying amplifier and an integrating circuit, a voltage controlled oscillator whose frequency is measured over a suitable time interval using a time interval generator and a counter with the output of the counter being used by the control circuits of the pacemaker to vary its pacing interval, or means for measuring average amplitude of the raw signal and storing that measurement in memory and periodically processing it to alter the transfer characteristics of the rate-responsive pacemaker.
