Abstract
An extra-cardiovascular implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) system receives a cardiac electrical signal by an electrical sensing circuit via an extra-cardiovascular sensing electrode vector and senses cardiac events from the cardiac electrical signal. The ICD system detects tachycardia from the cardiac electrical signal and determines a tachycardia cycle length from the cardiac electrical signal. The ICD system determines an ATP interval based on the tachycardia cycle length and sets an extended ATP interval that is longer than the ATP interval. The ICD delivers ATP pulses to a patient's heart via an extra-cardiovascular pacing electrode vector different than the sensing electrode vector. The ATP pulses include a leading ATP pulse delivered at the extended ATP interval after a cardiac event is sensed from the cardiac electrical signal and a second ATP pulse delivered at the ATP interval following the leading ATP pulse.
