ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method preventing cardiac arrhythmias with pacing therapy is disclosed. Upon detection of a pre-arrhythmic condition, an implantable cardiac rhythm management device is configured to deliver pacing therapy in a manner that pre-excites particular myocardial sites that have been identified as stressed sites and likely locations for the origination of arrhythmias. Such pacing results in a reduction in myocardial wall stress at those sites during systole and reduces the probability of an arrhythmia occurring.
