Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • stability of ventilation

    Per second

Interventions

Alternation of cardiac output by modulation of heart rate, atrioventricular delay and modulation from biventricular pacing to right ventricular pacing (where applicable)via a cardiac pacemaker

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patients with cardiac pacemakers implanted on standard clinical grounds, and either normal left ventricular systolic function (as assessed by echocardiogram) or impaired left ventricular systolic function and stable breathing patterns (as assessed by screening in outpatients' clinic).

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with atrial fibrillation with a ventricular rate of \>70 bpm will be excluded.
  • Patients with implantable cardiac defibrillators with anti-tachycardia therapy set at an unusually low rate (\<120 bpm), because it would limit the ability to vary the heart rate during the experiment.
  • Patients with significant respiratory disease (FEV1 \<50% predicted) will be excluded, as will patients with any condition that who have any condition precluding them from lying comfortably on a bed for 90 minutes.
  • Patients who have had a recent deterioration in condition i.e. admission in previous six weeks, those in a brittle condition and those who have end-stage renal failure requiring haemodialysis.
