摘要:
In a pacing mode where the left ventricle is paced upon expiration of an escape interval that is reset by a right ventricular sense, there is the risk that the left ventricular pace may be delivered in the so-called vulnerable period that occurs after a depolarization and trigger an arrhythmia. To reduce this risk, a left ventricular protective period (LVPP) may be provided. Methods and devices for implementing an LVPP in the context of multi-site left ventricular pacing are described.
