Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to pacing of cardiac tissue, and more particularly to adjusting delivery of His bundle or bundle branch pacing in a cardiac pacing system to achieve synchronized ventricular activation. A left bundle branch (LBB) cathode electrode may be implanted a left side of the septum of the patient's heart proximate to the LBB, and a right bundle branch (RBB) cathode electrode may be implanted on a right side of the septum of the patient's heart proximate to the RBB. One or both cathode electrodes may be used to deliver synchronized left and right bundle-branch pacing based on one or both of an atrial event and a ventricular event. A device for bundle branch pacing may be implanted based on determining whether an LBB block pattern or an RBB block pattern is present in monitored electrical activity.
