1. A method for implanting a pacing device, comprising the steps of:

  • a. introducing a sheath;

    b. steering the sheath to a left ventricular summit;

    c. lodging a distal end of the sheath beyond a posterior summit of a left ventricle;

    d. advancing a pacing lead through a lumen of the sheath to the left ventricular summit;

    e. perforating the coronary sinus with the pacing lead;

    f. coupling the pacing lead to cardiac tissue at the posterior summit of the left ventricular at a first end;

    g. removing the sheath; and

    h. activating the left ventricular summit to achieve early closure of a mitral valve during systole.
