ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulation device, such as a pacemaker, defibrillator and/or cardioverter, and an associated method that provide cardiac stimulation to at least two ventricular stimulation sites, within a single ventricle or across two ventricles. A high intrinsic atrial rate triggers a retrograde conduction detection routine when a high ventricular stimulation rate is sustained for a predetermined number of cycles during an atrial sensing mode. This routine interrupts concurrent stimulation, and alternates the stimulation output to the different ventricular sites.
