Abstract:
A method for improving cardiac performance associated with a current set of N pacing parameters by adjusting the N cardiac pacing parameters, where N is an integer greater than one, the method comprising the steps of:(a) determining cardiac performance associated with the current set of N pacing parameters; (b) repeating steps (c) through (e) for i=one to N, where i represents which of the N pacing parameter is being adjusted; (c) in renting an ith pacing parameter in the current set of N pacing parameters based on a corresponding ith increment value to thereby produce an ith set of test pacing parameters; (d) determining a cardiac performance associated with the ith set of test pacing parameters; (e) updating the ith increment value based on the cardiac performance associated with the ith set of test pacing parameters; and (f) updating the current set of N pacing parameters based on the updated increment values determined in step (e).
