ABSTRACT:
Techniques are provided for evaluating and optimizing the contribution of particular heart chambers to pacing efficacy. Briefly, a pacemaker temporarily alters the mode with which pacing therapy is delivered so as to selectively alter the heart chambers that are paced. The pacemaker detects any transient changes in pacing efficacy following the alteration in pacing mode. The pacemaker then assesses the contribution of particular heart chambers to pacing efficacy based on the alteration in the pacing mode and on any transient changes in the pacing efficacy. Additionally, techniques are provided herein for automatically adjusting pacing parameters to optimize the contribution of particular chambers to pacing efficacy.
