    Abstract: A system and method control a pacing parameter in a closed-loop manner by determining a value of an EGM-based index corresponding an optimal electrical activation condition of a patient's heart and adjusting a pacing therapy to maintain the EGM-based index value. The closed loop control method performed by the system may establish a relationship between an EGM-based index and multiple settings of a pacing control parameter. Values of the EGM-based index are stored with corresponding setting shifts relative to a previously established optimal setting. A processor of an implantable medical device monitors the EGM-based index during cardiac pacing. Responsive to detecting an EGM-based index value corresponding to a non-optimal setting of the control parameter, the processor determines an adjustment of the control parameter from the stored index values and corresponding setting shifts.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein for assisting a user in evaluation of cardiac therapy. The systems and methods may monitor electrical activity of a patient using external electrode apparatus to provide baseline cardiac information and therapy cardiac information and determine whether the cardiac pacing, or therapy, location is acceptable. If the cardiac pacing, or therapy, location is unacceptable, location information representative of a location that may more effective may be generated based on the therapy cardiac information.

    Abstract: Techniques for evaluating cardiac electrical dyssynchrony are described. In some examples, an activation time is determined for each of a plurality of torso-surface potential signals. The dispersion or sequence of these activation times may be analyzed or presented to provide variety of indications of the electrical dyssynchrony of the heart of the patient. In some examples, the locations of the electrodes of the set of electrodes, and thus the locations at which the torso-surface potential signals were sensed, may be projected on the surface of a model torso that includes a model heart. The inverse problem of electrocardiography may be solved to determine electrical activation times for regions of the model heart based on the torso-surface potential signals sensed from the patient.
