Claim 15:
16. A method for pacing a heart of patient, comprising:
receiving physiological information of the patient including an atrial activity and a physiologic signal sensed from a His-bundle region;
determining a sensing window following the atrial activity, the sensing window shorter than a programmed atrial-to-ventricular delay (AVD) and longer than a patient-specific intrinsic atrial-to-His bundle interval (AHI);
determining a presence or an absence of a conduction system activity using the sensed physiologic signal in the sensing window; and
adjusting delivery of electrostimulation energy to an interventricular septum between left and right ventricles of the heart based on the determined presence or the determined absence of the conduction system activity in the sensing window, including:
initiating electrostimulation of the interventricular septum in response to the absence of the conduction system activity in the sensing window; and
withholding the electrostimulation of the interventricular septum in response to the presence of the conduction system activity in the sensing window.
