Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 22:
23. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for causing processing circuitry of an implantable medical device system to:
generate signals representing activity of a heart of a patient;
determine, based on the signals, an intrinsic delay of the heart of the patient;
determine whether the intrinsic delay is indicative of a first-degree heart block being present in the heart of the patient;
determine a patient-specific timing regime for conduction system pacing based on whether the intrinsic delay is indicative of the first-degree heart block being present in the heart of the patient;
control administration of cardiac pacing to a native conduction system of the heart of the patient based on the patient-specific timing regime;
determine a baseline QRS delay based on the signals, wherein the baseline QRS delay is based on a set of determined differences in time between an atrial sense event or an atrial pace event to an end of a QRS complex;
determine a current QRS delay based on the signals, wherein the current QRS delay is a difference in time between a current atrial sense event or a current atrial pace event and an end of a current QRS complex;
determine whether the difference between the current QRS delay and the baseline QRS delay is greater than a threshold;
based on the difference between the current QRS delay and the baseline QRS delay being greater than the threshold, adjust the patient-specific timing regime; and
control administration of the cardiac pacing to a native conduction system of the heart of the patient based on the adjusted patient-specific timing regime.
