Pacingfrekvensen
Pacingfrekvensen refers to the rate at which a cardiac pacemaker stimulates the heart. It is typically measured in beats per minute (bpm) and is a critical parameter set by a physician to ensure the heart beats at an appropriate rhythm. The optimal pacing frequency is determined by the individual patient's medical condition, age, and activity level.
For individuals with bradycardia, a slow heart rate, the pacemaker is programmed to fire at a rate
In other situations, particularly for patients with heart failure or certain arrhythmias, an "on-demand" or "rate-responsive"
Adjusting the pacingfrekvensen is a key part of managing pacemaker patients. Regular follow-up appointments with a
