Abstract
A medical device processor is configured to receive at least one cardiac electrical signal that is sensed during bilateral bundle branch pacing delivered from a bipolar electrode pair comprising an anode positioned along a first bundle branch and a cathode positioned along a second bundle branch opposite the first bundle branch, determine at least one feature from the first cardiac electrical signal, determine that the at least one feature meets first bundle branch capture criteria; and determine anodal bundle branch capture in response to the first bundle branch capture criteria being met.
Claims23
A medical device, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- receive at least a first cardiac electrical signal that is sensed during bilateral bundle branch pacing delivered from a bipolar electrode pair comprising an anode positioned along a first bundle branch and a cathode positioned along a second bundle branch opposite the first bundle branch;
- determine at least one feature from the first cardiac electrical signal;
- determine that the at least one feature meets first bundle branch capture criteria;
- and
- determine anodal bundle branch capture in response to the first bundle branch capture criteria being met.
A method, comprising:
- receiving at least a first cardiac electrical signal that is sensed during bilateral bundle branch pacing delivered from a bipolar electrode pair comprising an anode positioned along a first bundle branch and a cathode positioned along a second bundle branch opposite the first bundle branch;
- determining at least one feature from the first cardiac electrical signal;
- determining that the at least one feature meets first bundle branch capture criteria;
- and
- determining anodal bundle branch capture in response to the first bundle branch capture criteria being met.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor of a medical device, cause the device to:
- receive at least a first cardiac electrical signal that is sensed during bilateral bundle branch pacing delivered from a bipolar electrode pair comprising an anode positioned along a first bundle branch and a cathode positioned along a second bundle branch opposite the first bundle branch;
- determine at least one feature from the first cardiac electrical signal;
- determine that the at least one feature meets first bundle branch capture criteria;
- and
- determine anodal bundle branch capture in response to the first bundle branch capture criteria being met.
