ABSTRACT:
A cardiac stimulation device and method perform a diastolic function test during which an amplitude-based feature of an evoked response is determined for a number of AV or PV delay settings. Stimulation operating parameters may be adjusted in response to a detected change in diastolic function. The diastolic function test may be repeated periodically with results stored in memory for later downloading to an external device allowing a physician to monitor the diastolic response to a selected treatment.
