Zusammenfassung:Implantable medical devices (IMD) such as a cardiac pacemakers may include a sensor and electrodes. In some cases, the IMD may include electronics to use the sensor to determine the heart rate of a patient's heart. The electronics may use the electrodes to deliver pacing pulses to the heart at a first energy level if the heart rate is below a threshold and pace the heart at an enhanced energy level if the heart rate is above the threshold.
