Zusammenfassung: | An apparatus comprises a stimulus circuit, a cardiac signal sensing circuit, and a control circuit. The cardiac signal sensing circuit senses a cardiac activity signal using a sensing channel. The stimulus circuit provides electrical pulse energy to a first pacing channel that includes a first left ventricular (LV) electrode and a second pacing channel that includes a second LV electrode. The control circuit initiates delivery of electrical pulse energy using the first and second pacing channels according to a first multi-site LV pacing mode; determines a cardiac event associated with a change in cardiac conduction path using a sensed cardiac activity signal; and changes to a second LV pacing mode in response to determining the cardiac event. The second LV pacing mode is different from the first multi-site LV pacing mode in one or more of a pacing site location and inter-electrode stimulus timing. |
