1. An implantable cardiac device that returns activations of corresponding right and left chambers of a heart to inter-chamber synchrony comprising:

  • a sensing circuit that senses intracardiac signals representing electrical activity of the corresponding right and left chambers;

    a detector responsive to the intracardiac signals to detect a predetermined characteristic of the signals indicative of dissociation of the corresponding right and left chambers; and

    a pulse generator that stimulates at least one of the right and left chambers to restore inter-chamber synchrony of the right and left chambers responsive to the detector detecting the predetermined characteristic.
