[Optimalization of rate adaptation using Holter functions in DDD/R pacemakers].
Introduction of the pacing rate adaptation according to the momentary metabolic needs added other programmable parametres which demand physician's attention during the initial postimplantation programmation and also in follow-up of pacemaker patients. The parametres setting is strictly individual with a need of feedback control. In some devices it is enabled by Holter functions as a part of pacemaker software. These methods were used to set the rate adaptive parametres in the group of 23 patients with implanted DDD/R pacemaker. The walking stress test was used. Model follow-up situations are presented in 3 case reports. Using Holter functions enables the physician to put patient's subjective complains in relation with actual heart rate--this is used to optimize the parametres of rate adaptation. The authors consider the Holter functions a necessary part of rate adaptive pacemaker software.
