1. An apparatus, comprising,a first lead, wherein the first lead includes a right ventricular electrode adapted to be positioned in a right ventricular region and a supraventricular electrode adapted to be positioned near a right atrial region;

  • a second lead, wherein the second lead includes a first left ventricular electrode and a second left ventricular electrode, the first and second ventricular electrodes adapted to be positioned adjacent a left ventricular region;

    an implantable pulse generator, wherein the first lead and the second lead are to be coupled to the implantable pulse generator and where the first and second left ventricular electrodes, the right ventricular electrode, and the supraventricular electrode are to be coupled to control circuitry within the implantable pulse generator, and wherein the control circuitry includes a pacing output circuit that is programmable to control delivery of pacing pulses between combinations of the first and second left ventricular electrodes in the left ventricular region and the right ventricular electrode in the right ventricular region, and to control delivery of pacing pulses between combinations of the first and second left ventricular electrodes and the supraventricular electrode.
