Claim 0:
1. A method for stimulating the left ventricle of a heart of a human subject having left bundle branch block (LBBB), the method including:
sensing an initiation of an electrical signal to contract a right ventricle of the heart by detecting an onset of a QRS segment;
emitting acoustic energy in response to the sensed initiation of the electrical signal to contract the right ventricle;
receiving the emitted acoustic energy at a receiver-stimulator implanted within or adjacent to the left ventricle;
converting the received acoustic energy into electrical energy; and
stimulating the left ventricle with the electrical energy to improve the contraction synchronization of the left ventricle and the right ventricle.
