What's the difference between cadence and pacing?

Cadence


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or state of declining or sinking.
  • (n.) A fall of the voice in reading or speaking, especially at the end of a sentence.
  • (n.) A rhythmical modulation of the voice or of any sound; as, music of bells in cadence sweet.
  • (n.) Rhythmical flow of language, in prose or verse.
  • (n.) See Cadency.
  • (n.) Harmony and proportion in motions, as of a well-managed horse.
  • (n.) A uniform time and place in marching.
  • (n.) The close or fall of a strain; the point of rest, commonly reached by the immediate succession of the tonic to the dominant chord.
  • (n.) A cadenza, or closing embellishment; a pause before the end of a strain, which the performer may fill with a flight of fancy.
  • (v. t.) To regulate by musical measure.

  • (20) Indeed, the outrage and umbrage – most of all, it seems, about Obama "cadence" – deflates as it is uttered.

Pacing


Definition:

  • (p. pr. & vb. n.) of Pace

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the stage 24 chick embryo, a paced increase in heart rate reduces stroke volume, presumably by rate-dependent decrease in passive filling.
  • (2) But not only did it post a larger loss than expected, Amazon also projected 7% to 18% revenue growth over the busiest shopping period of the year, a far cry from the 20%-plus pace that had convinced investors to overlook its persistent lack of profit in the past.
  • (3) All 3 drugs increased the basic cycle length of pacing at which VT was induced and the cycle time of the resulting VT.

  • (5) Rapid right ventricular pacing increased the extent and degree of dyskinesia of the left ventricle, but premedication with nicorandil improved the wall motion.
  • (6) The decrease in cardiac performance observed during ventricular pacing was related to the severity of asynchrony rather than the direction of the ventricular depolarization or change in regional myocardial tension.
