ABSTRACT:
A cardiac rhythm and function management device configured to automatically adjust stimulation parameters used in delivering cardiac resynchronization therapy. Mechanical contraction intervals are measured using appropriately placed accelerometers and compared with optimum values. The stimulation parameters can then be adjusted accordingly in a manner that moves the mechanical contraction intervals toward their optimum values.
