Abstract:
1. A method for pacing a heart, comprising: (a) positioning a first electrode relative to the heart, wherein an electrical stimulation pulse can be transmitted selectively to the septal annular region of the tricuspid annulus of the heart; (b) positioning a second electrode so that an electrical stimulation pulse can be transmitted selectively to the lateral annular region of the tricuspid annulus of the heart; and (c) transmitting an electrical stimulation pulse from the first electrode selectively to the tricuspid annulus of the heart, wherein the electrical stimulation pulse causes electrical activity in the heart to provide pacing; and (d) transmitting an electrical stimulation pulse through the second electrode selectively to the lateral annular region of the heart, wherein the electrical stimulation pulse causes electrical activity in the heart to provide pacing.
