Methods for planning and delivering cardiac electrical stimulation

A system for cardiac electrical stimulation treatment, comprising:

• an implantable pulse generator;
• one or more leads extending from said pulse generator to the heart for applying cardiac electrical stimulation;
• a controller programmed with at least one treatment plan for applying cardiac electrical stimulations, said controller configured to automatically generate an updated treatment plan in response to measured cardiac activity by updating one or more parameters including:
• a time period during which cardiac electrical stimulations are applied;
• a total number of cardiac electrical stimulations;
• a total amount of cardiac electrical stimulation energy;
• and an amount of energy delivered at each cardiac electrical stimulation;
• wherein said controller is configured to automatically generate said updated treatment plan when a number of cardiac electrical stimulations that were actually delivered is lower than a planned number of cardiac electrical stimulations.
