Technical Examples

An implantable medical device (IMD) provides for adaptive timing of the delivery of cardioversion shocks. In particular, the invention IMD provides for an adaptive cardioversion synchronization delay with respect to a cardiac event, such as a sensed P-wave or R-wave. When cardioversion with a first synchronization delay fails to terminate a tachycardia, for example, cardioversion may be attempted again with a second synchronization delay. The IMD may keep track of whether each synchronization delay is effective in terminating the tachycardia, and may employ a historically effective synchronization delay when applying cardioversion therapy to treat a subsequent tachycardia episode.
