ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a method includes sensing depolarizations of a heart at a plurality of different locations, and determining a sequence of the sensed depolarizations. The method may further include identifying a tachycardia condition and stimulating the heart at the plurality of locations based on the determined sequence. For example, the method may be implemented by an implantable medical device in order to improve anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP).
