Introduction
This manufacturer has not developed a specific AV and VV delay optimization algorithm. On the other hand, a negative hysteresis of the AV delay can be programmed in order to trigger BiV stimulation. In a pacemaker non-dependent patient, the programmed AV delay can be shortened if it is longer than the spontaneous AV interval.

AdaptivCRT algorithm AV DELAY AND VV DELAY OPTIMIZATION Biventricular resynchronization provides significant clinical benefit, a reverse remodeling with reduction of the cardiac volume, and a decrease in morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients with wide QRS. The main limitation of this therapy is that all studies found a significant percentage of patients that do not respond favorably to the resynchronization therapy. Different approaches have been proposed to reduce the percentage of non-responders. Once the patient is implanted, a sub-optimal adjustment of the CRT device can contribute to alter the quality of the response. The principle...
