Running - ADL Setpoint and Activity Threshold settings

Hello!

If anyone is running regularly and has a Medtronic PM, I'd like to know what values you have for "ADL Setpoint" and "Activity Threshold" settings.

Thanks in advance...

Medtronic settings

Hello Snortingdonkey,

Pacemaker Club member frankmcw2 may be able to help you with Medtronic settings if you send him a private message, giving him details of your present settings for ADL Setpoint and Activity Threshold.  

Although I have a Medtronic pacemaker, I am still awaiting my requested data downloads giving me this sort of information, so I cannot help you at the moment.  Medtronic settings for athletes has become a popular topic recently on this site, so hopefully someone will see your message and be able to help you if you do not hear from Frank.

Thx

Hello,

Yes...actually, I communicated with frankmcw2 a long time ago and already have his data. Unfortunately, I am somewhat of a complicated case and I am still struggling. 

I do have a question for @ar_vin - when you are running, do you track your heart rate? If so, do you mind describing how long it takes you to reach your HR for the pace you want to hold? Also, at what pace do you run and how long? I guess I'd be interested in your HR for a long aerobic run in zone 2 (if you are familiar with HR zones).

 

Thx

Thank you for the details. It's great you can run/sprint at that pace...

In my case, I my ADL Rate is set to 125 (it's higher so that I can bike a little) and my Upper Sensor Rate is 175. When I run my HR goes to 150 pretty quickly.

The one question I have after reading your response is about the Upper Sensor Rate...I think I will post it in new thread.

You know you're wired when...

You’re a battery-operated lover.

It may be the first time we've felt a normal heart rhythm in a long time, so of course it seems too fast and too strong.
