Patent abstract
In an implantable heart stimulating device, system and method, electrical stimulation pulses are delivered to first and second ventricles of a heart with a variable time interval therebetween, and signals are sensed at two different positions in the heart, from which an impedance value is derived. A minimum value and a maximum value of the impedance value are determined during a heart cycle, and a relationship between the minimum and maximum values also is determined. The time interval is varied and the relationship is monitored over a number of heart cycles. The time interval is set so that the relationship satisfies a predetermined requirement.
