ABSTRACT:
A device for controlling the duration of A-V conduction intervals ia a patient's heart. Stimulation of the AV nodal fat pad is employed to maintain the durations of the A-V conduction intervals within a desired interval range, which may vary as a function of sensed heart rate or other physiologic parameter. AV nodal fat pad stimulation may also be triggered in response to defined heart rhythms such as a rapid rate or the occurrence of PVC's, to terminate or prevent induction of arrhythmias.
