Abstract
A cardiac stimulator for evaluation of mechanical and electrical response to arrhythmias is described. It drives the heart at preselected rates and can stop the basic driving, introduce two extra stimulations and return to basic rate with a single switch. Three output circuits enable independent amplitude regulation for the basic pacing and each extra stimuli. The two extra pulses can be transferred to the heart through either single or separate electrodes.
