ABSTRACT:
Methods for failure recovery in a cardiac rhythm management system and apparatus capable of carrying out the methods. The methods include applying a first pacing therapy using one or more leads. The methods further include detecting a failure condition on one or more of the leads, wherein the failure condition prohibits or frustrates application of the first pacing therapy. The methods still further include applying a second pacing therapy using one or more of the leads subsequent to detecting the failure condition. The second pacing therapy is preferably chosen such that the detected failure does not interfere with the second pacing therapy. The second pacing therapy may be applied for only one cardiac cycle. The second pacing therapy may further be applied continuously until the failure condition is resolved, or it may be latched such that physician intervention is required to resume the first pacing therapy.
