Abstract
During cross-chamber pacing, where anodal capture may not be desirable, pulses are applied between a cathode electrode in a first chamber and an anode electrode in a second chamber. A capture detector detects for capture of the second chamber by the pacing pulses. If capture of the second chamber persists, another electrode is selected as the anodal electrode. During single-chamber pacing, where anodal capture may be desirable, pulses are applied between a cathode electrode and an anode electrode associated with the same chamber. A capture detector detects for capture at both electrodes. If anodal capture is not detected, the energy of the pacing pulse is increased, until anodal capture is detected.
