Rate Increase
The rate increase parameter determines the maximum speed by which
the pacing rate rises if the sensor signal indicates increasing exertion
(see Figure 20).
When the rate of increase is set to 2 ppm per cycle, the rate increases
from 60 ppm to 150 ppm in 45 cycles, for example.
The programmed rate increase applies only to sensor-controlled
operation and does not affect the rate changes during atrial-controlled
ventricular pacing.
