Abstract
Systems and methods for pacing cardiac conductive tissue are described. An exemplary system includes an electrostimulation circuit that may generate HBP pulses to stimulate patient physiologic conduction pathway, such as a His bundle or a bundle branch. The system includes an arrhythmia detector to detect an atrial tachyarrhythmia (AT) with intermittent ventricular conduction. A control circuit may sense ventricular activation and, in response to the detected AT indication, determine or update a His-bundle pacing (HBP) configuration. The HBP may be recursively updated on a beat-by-beat basis using the sensed ventricular activation. The electrostimulation circuit may deliver HBP according to the determined or adjusted HBP configuration to regularize ventricular rate during AT.
