Abstract
A device and method for cardiac rhythm management in which a heart chamber is paced in accordance with a pacing mode that employs sense signals from the opposite chamber. A sensing refractory period is provided in order to prevent the pacing interval from being lengthened due to delays in conduction of excitation from the paced chamber to the sensed chamber.
