Abstract
Cardiac electrical heterogeneity information may be used to determine whether one or more ventricle from atrium (VfA) paced settings for VfA pacing therapy are acceptable. Cardiac electrical heterogeneity information may be generated during VfA pacing, and then evaluated to determine whether the VfA paced settings are acceptable.
Claims27
A system comprising:
- electrode apparatus comprising a plurality of external electrodes to monitor electrical activity from tissue of a patient and
- computing apparatus comprising processing circuitry and coupled to the electrode apparatus and configured to:
- monitor electrical activity using the plurality of external electrodes;
- generate paced electrical heterogeneity information (EHI) based on the monitored electrical activity during delivery of ventricle from atrium (VfA) pacing therapy at one or more VfA paced settings, wherein the paced EHI is representative of at least one of mechanical cardiac functionality and electrical cardiac functionality;
- and
- determine whether the one or more VfA paced settings for the VfA pacing therapy are acceptable based on the paced EHI.
