Identification of premature atrial contractions that trigger arrhythmia

In general, the invention is directed to techniques for delivery of pacing in response to a premature atrial contraction (PAC) to prevent atrial arrhythmia, i.e., delivery of post-PAC pacing pulses. The techniques may involve monitoring the success rate of prior post-PAC pacing sequences, and adjust...

Zusammenfassung:In general, the invention is directed to techniques for delivery of pacing in response to a premature atrial contraction (PAC) to prevent atrial arrhythmia, i.e., delivery of post-PAC pacing pulses. The techniques may involve monitoring the success rate of prior post-PAC pacing sequences, and adjusting the number of post-PAC pacing pulses delivered subsequent post-PAC pacing sequences based on a success rate. In addition, the techniques may involve adjusting the post-PAC pacing interval based on the success rate.
