Embodiment Construction
[0028] Increasing the heart rate above the normal resting rate can dilate the heart. If the heart rate is elevated substantially and / or over a prolonged period, the subject may develop enlarged heart chambers and / or heart failure. This is a clinical phenotype commonly referred to as tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy. Alternatively, chamber enlargement can be beneficial if the heart rate is moderately or intermittently elevated. For example, endurance athletes (such as professional cyclists) may increase the size of their chambers to a level considered enlarged. This allows them to increase cardiac output to abnormal levels, thereby increasing their exercise capacity to supraphysiological levels. Because these changes can resolve with inactivity, they are considered benign and have been called athlete's heart. However, subjects with atrial fibrillation with uncontrolled rapid ventricular conduction can also develop similar enlargements in the volume of their heart chambers....
