ABSTRACT:
An exemplary method includes delivering biventricular pacing therapy using one or more timing parameters, detecting loss of capture, deciding if fusion exists without adjusting the one or more timing parameters and, based on the deciding, calling for fusion avoidance or calling for a capture threshold search. Various other exemplary methods, devices, systems, etc., are also disclosed.
