摘要： A method for selecting a cardiac pacing site includes steps of: securing first and second electromagnetic receiver coils at first and second positions, respectively, along a heart wall; collecting a set of non-paced heart wall motion data from each of the coils secured at the corresponding positions; applying cardiac pacing stimulation at at least one first pacing site; collecting a first set of paced heart wall motion data from each of the secured coils; comparing the non-paced heart wall motion data to the first set of paced heart wall motion data; and determining, based on the comparing, whether to maintain pacing at the at least one first cardiac pacing site or to apply pacing stimulation at a second pacing site for collection of a second set of paced heart wall motion data. The at least one first pacing site may include a right ventricular site and a left ventricular site.
