Official Title: A Comparison of Rate Response Performance in Pacemaker Patients With an Indication of Sinus Node Dysfunction.

Brief Summary:

Providing ideal rate response to patients should improve their quality of life and ability to execute activities of daily living.

Medtronic pacemakers provide rate response pacing by utilizing dual zone programming to specify an "activities of daily living" (ADL) response rate and an "exertion" response rate. There is much data to support the target heart rate for an exercise response but the data to support the programming of the ADL rate is lacking.
