Abstract

An apparatus comprises a cardiac signal sensing circuit and a first implantable electrode pair. At least one electrode of the first implantable electrode pair is configured for placement at a location in a right branch of a His bundle of the subject. The apparatus can include a therapy circuit and a control circuit. The control circuit can include an AH delay calculation circuit configured to calculate an optimal paced AH delay interval. The pacing stimulation location is distal to a location of RV conduction block in a right branch of the His bundle. The control circuit initiates delivery of an electrical stimulation pulse to the stimulation location in the His bundle according to the calculated paced AH delay interval and in response to an intrinsic depolarization event sensed in an atrium of the subject.
