Abstract
A method includes locating the triangle of Koch region in the right atrium of a patient's heart; securing at least one electrode of an implantable lead or device to cardiac tissue from the triangle of Koch region to deliver ventricle-from-atrium (VfA) cardiac therapy; and testing the location or depth of the at least one electrode to configure VfA cardiac therapy. Locating the target implant region in the triangle of Koch region may include detecting an atrial slow pathway potential (ASP) or atrial pacing output.
