Patent ID: 7058443

Claim:
A method of utilizing a biventricular pacing system to determine the distribution of ventricle to ventricle conduction sequences in a patient having a conductive disorder, the method comprising: placing sensing leads in both ventricular chambers; sensing conduction sequences occurring from one ventricular chamber to another ventricular chamber; determining which ventricular chamber the conduction sequence originated in and which ventricular chamber it propagated to; recording the determining information in a memory such that the information can be used to identify the relative distribution of conduction sequences; identifying a conductive disorder in response to the determined relative distribution; and adjusting a therapy delivered by the pacing system in response to the identified conductive disorder, wherein the conductive disorder comprises a conductive disorder amenable to termination via anti tachycardia pacing (ATP) therapy delivery and wherein the therapy comprises ATP therapy and the adjusting further comprises: initiating the ATP therapy in the ventricular that one of: initiated a recent ventricular depolarization and initiated a majority of ventricular depolarizations over a predetermined time period.
