Patent attributes
A method of pacing opposing chambers of a heart with a pacing system is provided. The pacing system comprises a first bipolar medical electrical lead having at least one first electrode configured for positioning in a first opposing chamber of the heart, a second bipolar medical electrical lead having at least one second electrode configured for positioning in a second opposing chamber of the heart, an implantable pulse generator operably connected to the first and second bipolar medical electrical leads. The implantable pulse generator further comprises a hermetically sealed housing capable of serving as a can electrode. The method designates a primary electrode configuration by selecting a cathode and an anode from either the first electrode, second electrode, or the can. Selection of the cathode is based on a comparison of thresholds measured in each chamber. Systems, programs and devices using the method are also provided.
