1. A method for nodal rhythm detection and delivery of therapy for a mammalian heart, comprising:

  • determining whether an atrial event precedes a ventricular event;

    counting the consecutive times atrial events occur less than a first time limit before the ventricular event, if the atrial event precedes the ventricular event;

    counting the consecutive times atrial events occur less than a second time limit after the ventricular event, if the atrial event follows the ventricular event; and

    delivering therapy for nodal rhythm if the number of times consecutive atrial events occur within a time period between the first time limit before a ventricular event and the second time limit after a ventricular event is greater than a nodal treatment activation constant.
