Abstract
A cardiac rhythm management system provides for cardiac pacing that is delivered to a target portion of conductive tissue in a heart, such as the His bundle. In various embodiments, the system is configured to verify capture of the target portion and provide for selective pacing of the target portion. In various embodiments, the system is configured to detect responses of the target portion and adjacent myocardial tissue to delivery of pacing pulses and use an outcome of the detection to verify selective capture of the target portion (i.e., without directly exciting the adjacent myocardial tissue.
