1. A cardiac pacing device, comprising:

  • sensing and pulse generation circuitry for connecting to a first electrode disposed at a stressed first ventricular site and for connecting to a second electrode disposed at a second ventricular site that is excited earlier during an intrinsic contraction;

    a controller for controlling delivery of pacing pulses; and

    ,wherein the controller is programmed to deliver a pacing pulse to the stressed first ventricular site during a cardiac cycle before excitation of the second ventricular site in order to subject a stressed region to less mechanical stress when the myocardium contracts.
