HEART RATE VARIABILITY AND CHOICE OF RATE-ADAPTIVE SENSOR IN PATIENTS WITH BRADYCARDIA-TACHYCARDIA SYNDROME

To assess baseline heart rate variability parameters which could correlate with the choice of an optimal algorithm of rate adaptation, 138 patients with bradycardia-tachycardia with indications to pacemaker implantation were assessed.
