1. A method for providing rate-adaptive cardiac pacing therapy from an implantable medical device, the method comprising:

  • sensing a pulmonary function of a patient;

    determining a rate of change in the pulmonary function;

    sensing a cardiac function of the patient;

    determining a rate of change in the cardiac function; and

    calculating a target pacing rate based on an existing pacing rate, the rate of change in the pulmonary function, and the rate of change in the cardiac function.
