Results, problems and perspectives with the autoregulating pacemaker.
Experimental in vitro testing coupled with animal and clinical studies have shown that a pH sensor may sense acute changes in pH occurring in response to exercise. This signal may in turn be used as a determinant for optimal pacing rate. Further investigation into membrane coating of electrodes and algorithm testing is necessary to maximize sensor response and control.
