Abstract
A medical device system and method for delivering mechanically fused left ventricular cardiac stimulation. A sensor monitors left ventricular acceleration while left ventricular cardiac stimulation is provided at an AV interval. The left ventricular acceleration is used to calculate a mechanical response interval and the mechanical response interval is compared to a desired mechanical response interval. The AV interval is adjusted until the mechanical response interval is equal to the desired mechanical response interval.
