Abstract

A system and method are described for automatically detecting diaphragmatic stimulation (DS) based on evoked response signals, electrogram data and/or thoracic impedance measurements. In addition, several optional modalities are described to circumvent this problem and alleviate symptoms related to DS while preserving LV pacing.
