Rate Response

My atrial or ventricular long term histogram shown in my Interrogation Reports does not show any pacing between rates 70 and 100 bpm. Does this mean that my Rate Response has not been effective? But the Rate Response Optimization is ON.
Can someone comment? Thanks a lot in advance.

Maybe you didn't need it

Hi Al It is quite possible that there was no pacing between 70 and 100 because your heart was very happy doing all the pacing naturally.

The most important question is how do you feel between 70 and 100 ? Are you quite breathless in which case you may need the RR settings altering; if you feel fine then you don't !

Rate Response should only be set to kick in if you are exercising but your heart rate isn't increasing as it should.

My rate response only kicks in at 90bpm because my heart seems to perform on its own up to 90 . We are all different and something like a treadmill test would help work out which settings are best for you.

Best of luck
