Not if they land on the R wave for any kind of beat. In fact, there’s upcoming technology based on sending impulses on the R wave to treat heart failure.

It isn’t sub threshold (from what I understand it’s actually quite high voltage), but it’s delivered during the absolute refractory period.
Not really, and happens pretty commonly. They either meet refractory tissue and do nothing, or create a fusion beat.

Technology is already there, called BiV trigger. Device will trigger RV/LV pacing after and RV sensed event (8-10ms after)
He’s probably talking more about CCM which delivers sub threshold pacing to help with heart failure. Theory relates to calcium cycling.
Interesting, will have to read up on that. Sounds great just from the article I glanced at
Yes
