Zusammenfassung:A method of stimulation therapy and an apparatus for providing the therapy which addresses cardiac dysfunction including heart failure. The therapy employs atrial pacing pulses delivered to a heart after the atrial refractory period and timed so that they will not cause a ventricular contraction. These atrial pacing are timed to achieve beneficial effects on myocardial mechanics (efficacy) while maintaining an extremely low level of risk of arrhythmia induction. These methods may be employed individually or in combinations in an external or implantable ESS therapy delivery device.
