Abstract
A device and method for cardiac rhythm management in which a cardiac site is paced in accordance with a pacing mode that employs sense signals from a different cardiac site. A protective period triggered by the sensing of intrinsic activity at the paced site is used to delay pacing by a protective delay interval without otherwise disturbing the pacing algorithm.
