ABSTRACT:
Techniques are presented for providing adjustable cardiac resynchronization with an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker. For example, cardiac resynchronization may be provided during some time periods but not during other time periods, or cardiac resynchronization may be provided in response to selected sensed events. Adjustable cardiac resynchronization is applicable to therapy such as bi-ventricular pacing, in which both ventricles of the heart are paced in response to sensed atrial events.
