Abstract
A method and apparatus for the simultaneous administration of multiple pacing therapies in which two or more pacing features which operate to cause the dynamic adjustment of a common operational parameter of a pacing system are activatable at the same time. In one embodiment, a prioritization among multiple pacing features is established, such that when two (or more) features which operate to cause adjustment of a common operational parameter, a lower-priority feature will not override an adjustment made by any higher-priority feature.
