  • Optimization of AV intervals in single ventricle fusion pacing through electrogram morphology
    Patent number: 8214041
    Abstract: This document provides a simple and automatic method for determining an optimal AV interval and/or range of AV intervals for, in an exemplary embodiment, LV-only pacing. Such a method provides significant advantages for patients while reducing burdens related to post-implant follow-up by clinicians in that it greatly reduces the need for doing echocardiographic-based AV interval optimization procedures as well as providing a way to dynamically optimize AV intervals as the patient moves about their activities of daily living (ADL).
