摘要:
An apparatus comprises a control circuit that initiates a normal pacing mode for delivery of electrostimulation energy to the heart chamber. In response to an indication to initiate a threshold test, the control circuit determines an electrode configuration used to deliver the electrostimulation energy in the normal pacing mode, selects a first threshold test mode when a sensing electrode independent from the set of pacing electrodes is unavailable for the heart chamber, wherein a cardiac activity signal is sensed using a set of sensing electrodes that includes an electrode common to the set of pacing electrodes, and selects a second threshold test mode when a sensing electrode independent from the set of pacing electrodes is available for the heart chamber, wherein the cardiac activity signal is sensed using a set of sensing electrodes that excludes an electrode common to the set of pacing electrodes.
