Book excerpt: Since the first clinical application of an atrial triggered ventricular pacemaker by Nathan, progress in technology has allowed the development of new pacing modes such as rate variable pulse generators, that adjust their basic rate according to physiological needs. In recent years, these new concepts have been used ever more widely, offering significant benefits to a large number of suitable patients and also to those patients who could not previously benefit from pacing. The second part of The Foundations of Cardiac Pacing, An Illustrated Guide to Rate Variable Pacing, continues the spirit of the Bakken Research Center Series and offers a contemporary overview of advanced cardiac pacing. The editors assume the reader is familiar with The Foundations of Cardiac Pacing, Part I.
