Rate-Responsive Pacemaker

The document discusses the design of a rate-responsive cardiac pacemaker controller developed by Somnath Banerjee as part of a B.Tech project at IIT Kharagpur, which was recognized as one of the top five projects. It covers key concepts such as cardiovascular dynamics, system simulation, and control design, with detailed simulations using both linear and non-linear dynamic approaches. The document includes mathematical models and transfer functions that characterize the interactions between heart rate, workload, and venous oxygen saturation.
