Abstract
An implantable medical device operates to promote intrinsic ventricular depolarization according to a pacing protocol. The medical device determines a course of action based upon the presence or absence of sensed ventricular activity. The device further determines whether that activity is properly conducted or the result of a PVC or nodal rhythm.
