ABSTRACT:
In general, the invention is directed to techniques for capture testing of a capture threshold in cooperation with measurement of other cardiac parameters. Physiological or non-physiological parameters may indicate a possible change in the capture threshold, and a significant change in a cardiac parameter may trigger more frequent monitoring of the capture threshold. In addition, measurement of cardiac parameters in relation to measurement of the capture threshold may be useful in diagnosing problems and forecasting possible loss of capture.
