Patent ID: 11964160
Assignee: MEDTRONIC, INC.
Field: Medical technology (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. A medical device system, comprising:
a pulse generator configured to generate pacing pulses;
a sensing circuit for sensing a first cardiac electrical signal; and
processing circuitry configured to:
receive at least the first cardiac electrical signal that is sensed by the sensing circuit during bilateral bundle branch pacing delivered from the pulse generator via a bipolar electrode pair comprising an anode positioned along a first bundle branch and a cathode positioned along a second bundle branch opposite the first bundle branch;
determine at least one feature from the first cardiac electrical signal;
determine that the at least one feature meets first bundle branch capture criteria indicating that the bilateral bundle branch pacing has captured the first bundle branch; and
determine anodal bundle branch capture in response to the first bundle branch capture criteria being met; and
determine a pacing pulse output based on determining the anodal bundle branch capture; and
control the pulse generator to generate pacing pulses according to the determined pacing pulse output.
