Abstract
A method is presented by which an implantable cardiac rhythm management device may vary the atrio-ventricular delay or AVD interval used for delivering cardiac resynchronization therapy in an atrial tracking or AV sequential pacing mode in accordance with the sensed or paced atrial rate. Optimal values for the AVD parameter associated with a particular atrial rate are computed as linear functions of an intrinsic conduction measurement taken when the particular rate is present.
