Abstract
A system and method for detecting evoked cardiac contractions applies pacing pulses to a patient's heart while simultaneously monitoring intracardiac electrical activity to detect evoked cardiac contractions. Pacing pulses are generated in pairs such that at most only one pulse of each pair can induce capture. The lead recovery waveforms produced in response to each of the pulses within a pair are electronically subtracted to yield a difference signal indicative of induced cardiac response.
