  • Method and system for preventing atrial fibrillation by rapid pacing intervention
    Publication number: 20030009198
    Abstract: A method of pacing cardiac tissue using an implantable medical device is provided. A first fibrillation-indicative interval is determined based on a first fibrillation-indicative event. A first adjusted pacing interval, wherein the first adjusted pacing interval is shorter than the first fibrillation-indicative interval, is determined and the cardiac tissue is paced based on the first adjusted pacing interval. If the cardiac tissue is not captured by pacing at the first adjusted pacing interval, an additional fibrillation-indicative interval is determined based on an additional earlier fibrillation-indicative event. An additional adjusted pacing interval, wherein the additional adjusted pacing interval is shorter than the additional fibrillation-indicative interval is determined and the cardiac tissue is paced based on the additional adjusted pacing interval.
