Abstract
A method of pacing a His bundle of a patient heart using a stimulation system including a memory, a pulse generator, a stimulating electrode and at least one sensing electrode includes applying a plurality of impulses through the stimulating electrode to induce a plurality of responses from the patient heart. Each impulse of the plurality of impulses is delivered at a different impulse energy corresponding to a respective output setting of the stimulation system. The response characteristics for each of the plurality of responses are measured and each impulse is assigned a classification based on whether the respective response characteristics indicate capture of one or both of the His bundle and a ventricle of the patient heart. The output setting and classification for each impulse is then stored in the memory.
