Abstract

A cardiac rhythm management device comprises a plurality of sensing channels (23a, 23b, 33a, 33b, 43a, 43b, 53a, 53b) incorporating electrodes for disposition near different myocardial regions and a controller programmed to measure amplitudes of electrograms from one or more cardiac sites in order to ascertain the extent of hypertrophy. The device may then pace the heart by delivering pacing therapy in a manner that unloads the hypertrophied myocardium to effect reversal of undesirable remodeling.
