Abstract
Ventricle-from-atrium (VfA) cardiac therapy may utilize a tissue-piercing electrode implanted in the left ventricular myocardium of the patient's heart from the right atrium through the right atrial endocardium and central fibrous body. The exemplary devices and methods may determine whether the tissue-piercing electrode is achieving effective left ventricular capture. Additionally, one or more pacing parameters, or paced settings, may be adjusted in view of the effective left ventricular capture determination.
