Methods and systems for selecting capture verification modes |
September 18, 2012 |
Methods and systems are directed to selecting from a variety of capture verification modes. A plurality of capture verification modes, including a beat by beat capture detection mode and a capture threshold testing mode without intervening beat by beat capture detection is provided. An |

Pacing output determination based on selected capture threshold values |
September 18, 2012 |
Approaches for adjusting the pacing energy delivered by a pacemaker are provided. Adjusting the pacing energy involves performing a plurality of capture threshold tests, each capture threshold test measuring a capture threshold of the heart. One or more measured captured thresholds are |

Retrograde atrial sensing for identifying sub-threshold atrial pacing |
April 10, 2012 |
Atrial capture threshold testing is performed in accordance with an atrial capture threshold testing schedule. Monitoring for retrograde P-waves occurs at least during times other than times during which scheduled atrial capture threshold testing is performed. In response to detectin |

Adaptive windowing for cardiac waveform discrimination |
March 27, 2012 |
Cardiac devices and methods provide adaptation of detection windows used to determine a cardiac response to pacing. Adapting a detection window involves sensing a cardiac signal indicative of a particular type of cardiac pacing response, and detecting a feature of the sensed cardiac |

Retrograde atrial sensing for identifying sub-threshold atrial pacing |
November 25, 2008 |
Methods and systems for delivering a pacing pulse to an atrium during a cardiac cycle. A retrograde P-wave may be identified during the cardiac cycle, indicative of sub-threshold atrial pacing. Delivery of the pacing pulse to the atrium may be adjusted in a subsequent cardiac cycle in |
