Abstract
An exemplary method includes delivering a pace using an electrode positioned on the lateral wall of the left ventricle of a heart, sensing the pace using an electrode positioned in the right ventricle of the heart, determining a left to right directional conduction time (TLR), delivering a pace using an electrode positioned in the right ventricle of the heart, sensing the pace using an electrode positioned on the lateral wall of the left ventricle of the heart, determining a right to left directional conduction time (TRL), calculating a site-to-site offset (VVATP) for multi-site anti-tachycardia pacing based on the left to right directional conduction time and the right to left directional conduction time and instructing an implantable device to deliver multi-site anti-tachycardia pacing using the site-to-site offset (VVATP). Other exemplary methods, devices, systems, etc., are also disclosed.
