Rate-adaptive Pacemaker

A rate-adaptive pacemaker is a small device implanted in the body to help regulate the heartbeat. Unlike traditional pacemakers that only send electrical signals when the heart beats too slowly, this device adjusts its pacing based on the body's activity level—such as exercise, rest, or stress. It senses signals from the body, like movement or breathing, and increases or decreases the heart rate accordingly. This ensures the heart beats appropriately for different situations, improving energy levels and overall heart function. Essentially, it makes the heart's rhythm more natural and responsive to daily activities.
