Abstract
A method and device for delivering defibrillation shock therapy in patients having an inter-ventricular conduction disorder is presented. Ventricular resynchronization therapy is employed to reduce the dispersion of ventricular depolarization which takes place due to the conduction disorder and reduces the safety margin of shocks delivered synchronously with ventricular beats. The method may be employed in the treatment of atrial or ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
