Abstract

The first rate-responsive pacing systems were introduced by Center [1] and Lagergren [2] in 1964–1966. Both systems used P waves, which were detected with an atrial electrode positioned by thoracotomy or mediastinoscopy to trigger the ventricular pacing after a short delay. A comparison of the acute data with VVI pacing showed that the cardiac index increased by 10–30%. Despite these promising data, atrioventricular (AV) synchronous pacemakers were not widely used until the late 1970s.
