    Abstract: In one example, a method includes determining a slope of a cardiac electrogram. The method may also include determining a threshold value based on a maximum of the slope of the cardiac electrogram. The method may further include identifying a last point of the cardiac electrogram before the slope of the cardiac electrogram crosses the threshold as one of an onset or an offset of a wave. In another example, the method further includes receiving an indication of local ventricular motion associated with a cardiac contraction, and determining an electromechanical delay between the identified onset and the local ventricular motion. Some examples include providing the electromechanical delay for configuration of cardiac resynchronization therapy.

    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to cardiac pacing methods and systems, and, more particularly, to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In particular, the present disclosure pertains to determining the efficacy of CRT through use of an effective capture test (ECT). One or more embodiments comprises sensing a signal in response to a ventricular pacing stimulus. Through signal processing, a number of features are parsed from the signal. Exemplary features parsed from the signal include a maximum amplitude, a maximum time associated with the maximum amplitude, a minimum amplitude, and a minimum time associated with the minimum amplitude. The data is evaluated through use of the ECT. By employing the ECT, efficacy of CRT is easily and automatically evaluated.
