Abstract
An implantable cardiac stimulating device has a control circuit connected to first and second electrodes respectively for stimulating first and second ventricles of a heart. Evoked response sensors respectively sense evoked response parameters to stimulation of the two ventricles. Delivery of stimulating pulses via the respective electrodes to the respective ventricles in the same cycle of the heart is controlled so that there is a time interval between the pulses respectively delivered to the two ventricles. The control circuit controls delivery of the stimulating pulses so that the respective evoked response parameters of the two ventricles occur substantially simultaneously.
