1. A system for reducing ventricular filling volume in a patient having a pretreatment ventricular filling volume, comprising:

  • a stimulation circuit configured to deliver a stimulation pulse to at least one cardiac chamber; and

    at least one controller configured to execute the delivery of one or more stimulation patterns of stimulation pulses to at least one cardiac chamber, wherein at least one of the stimulation pulses has a first stimulation setting and at least one of the stimulation pulses has a second stimulation setting different from the first stimulation setting, at least one of the first stimulation setting and the second stimulation setting being configured to reduce or prevent atrial kick, thereby reducing the ventricular filling volume from the pretreatment ventricular filling volume.
