Implantable medical device with t-wave protection

Abstract

An implantable medical device, including a left ventricular, LV, electrode assembly for connection to the myocardium of the left ventricle of a patient's heart and configured for application of left ventricular pacing, LVp, and for left ventricular sensing, LVs, and a control unit, configured to control the LV electrode assembly with respect to an application of LVp at a scheduled LV stimulation time, the control including inhibiting LVp during a left ventricle upper rate interval, LVURI, for T-wave protection, wherein a start of the LVURI is triggered by an LVs or LVp event. The control unit is further configured, if the scheduled LV stimulation time falls into the LVURI, to apply LVp when the LVURI lapses.
