ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides methods and systems for tachyarrhythmia therapy involving pacing the heart to prior to the application of a cardioversion/defibrillation shock. One or more pace pulses are delivered to the arrhythmic chamber or chambers. The pace pulses may be delivered to the heart at an adaptable rate selected to organize the electrical activity of the heart. If the pace pulses produce capture, cardioversion/defibrillation stimulation is delivered.
