摘要:
Delivery of fusion pacing therapy to a later depolarizing ventricle (V2) of a heart of a patient may be timed based on the depolarization of the V2 during at least one prior cardiac cycle. In some examples, a V2 pacing pulse is delivered upon the expiration of a pacing interval that begins at detection of an atrial sense or pace event (AP/S). The pacing interval may be substantially equal to the duration of time between an AP/S and a V2 sensing event of at least one prior cardiac cycle decremented by an adjusted pre-excitation interval (PEI). In another example, the V2 pacing pulse is delivered at the expiration of a pacing interval that begins upon detection of a V2 sensing event of a prior cardiac cycle. The pacing interval may be substantially equal to a duration of time at least two subsequent V2 sensing events decremented by the adjusted PEI.
