Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and apparatus for selecting an electrode combination in a cardiac pacing device. In some instances, this may include: implanting a plurality of cardiac electrodes supported by one or more leads in a patient; receiving user-determined electrode combination selection criteria from a user; evaluating, for each electrode combination of a plurality of electrode combinations of a plurality of cardiac electrodes, which electrode combination best satisfies the user-determined electrode combination selection criteria; selecting the electrode combination that best satisfies the user-determined electrode combination selection criteria; and programming an implantable pacing circuit to deliver a cardiac pacing therapy to the patient's heart that uses the selected electrode combination.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: delivering electrical stimulation to a patient's heart using a plurality of cardiac electrodes supported inside the patient by one or more at least partially implanted leads and an evaluation unit having an analyzer circuit that is external of the patient and attached to the one or more leads; receiving a user-determined electrode combination selection criteria from a user via the evaluation unit, wherein the user-determined electrode…
