Abstract
Methods and systems are described that involve synchronized ventricular pacing that promotes sensing of atrial events. The atrioventricular pacing delay is modified based on characteristics of previously sensed atrial events. The modified AV delay is implemented relative to a first atrial event. A second AV delay is implemented relative to a second atrial event if the second atrial event is sensed during the modified AV delay. A ventricular pacing pulse is delivered following the second AV delay.
