Optimization of LV and RV lead placement based on electrical delays

摘要

A system comprises a cardiac signal sensing and a processing circuit. The cardiac signal sensing circuit senses a first cardiac signal segment that includes a QRS complex and a second cardiac signal segment that includes a fiducial indicative of local ventricular activation. The processor circuit includes a site activation timer circuit configured to determine a time duration between a fiducial of the QRS complex of the first cardiac signal segment and the fiducial of the second cardiac signal segment. The processor circuit is configured to generate, using the determined time duration, an indication of optimality of placement of one or more electrodes for delivering therapy and provide the indication to at least one of a user or process.
