ABSTRACT:
An exemplary method includes providing an optimal interventricular interval, determining an atrio-ventricular conduction delay for the ventricle having faster atrio-ventricular conduction, determining an interventricular conduction delay and determining an advance atrio-ventricular pacing interval, for use in pacing the ventricle having slower atrio-ventricular conduction, based at least in part on the optimal interventricular interval and the interventricular conduction delay. Other exemplary methods, devices, systems, etc., are also disclosed.
