Abstract
A method for treatment of congestive heart failure from the right side of the heart, by stimulating at numerous points along the right-ventricular septum to produce a fused line of stimulation upon breakthrough of wave fronts into the left ventricular septum and an LV action potential that simultaneously propagates toward the apex, base, and left free wall. Five electrodes, all in contact with the septum and spaced approximately 1.5 cm apart, produce a fused action potential in an average adult human within 10 ms of delivering simultaneous pacing pulses. Breakthrough of this fused region of stimulation will occur within 20 ms of delivering the pacing pulses. The most proximal electrode may be located in or near the right-ventricular apex. The most distal electrode may be located somewhere near the right-ventricular outflow tract, generally somewhere near the moderator band.
