Abstract
An implantable medical device comprises therapy delivery circuitry and processing circuitry. The therapy delivery circuitry is configured to deliver anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) therapy to a heart of a patient. The ATP therapy includes one or more pulse trains and each of the one or more pulse trains includes a plurality of pacing pulses. The processing circuitry is configured to, for at least one of the plurality of pacing pulses of at least one of the one or more pulse trains, determine at least one latency metric of an evoked response of the heart to the pacing pulse. The processing circuitry is further configured to modify the ATP therapy based on the at least one latency metric.
