Abstract
A method of controlling pulmonary capillary pressure is disclosed which includes increasing the output of a first ventricle (V1) (e.g., a left ventricle) relative to second ventricle (e.g., right ventricle) by increasing the magnitude of a post extrasystolic potentiation (PESP) therapy effect in the first ventricle relative to the magnitude of a PESP therapy effect produced in the second ventricle. In certain embodiments of the invention, this may be accomplished by adjusting the extra-stimulus interval (ESI) in either or both of the left ventricle and the right ventricle, for example.
