Selection of cardiac capture verification modes
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for automatically implementing capture verification in a cardiac rhythm management system, comprising:
- evaluating a plurality of capture verification modes used to operate the cardiac rhythm management system to verify capture, at least one capture verification mode of the plurality of capture verification modes having a temporal relationship between delivery of a pacing pulse and detection of capture of heart tissue by the pacing pulse that is different from another capture verification mode of the plurality of capture verification modes;
selecting one or more capture verification modes based on the evaluation of the plurality of capture verification modes, including selecting based on a time interval duration of each of the one or more capture verification modes, the time interval duration measured between a given pacing pulse and a cardiac signal feature used for capture detection for such pacing pulse; and
implementing capture verification using the selected one or more capture verification modes.

Abstract
Systems and methods provide for selection of automatic capture verification modes. A number of capture verification modes are evaluated, wherein at least one of the capture verification modes has a distinct temporal relationship between delivery of a pacing pulse and detection of capture of heart tissue by the pacing pulse than the other capture verification modes. One or more capture verification modes are selected based on the evaluation. Capture verification is implemented using the selected one or more capture verification modes.
