Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to the field of implantable medical devices, more particularly, to cardiac pacing systems having nodal rhythm detection and treatment. A method and system for nodal rhythm detection and treatment is provided. Detecting consecutive atrial events within a nodal activity window around ventricular events identifies nodal rhythm. Nodal rhythm is treated by calculating and applying a new atrial escape interval adjusted by the interval between the atrial and ventricular events.
