  • Method and Apparatus for Optimization of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy Using Vectorcardiograms Derived from Implanted Electrodes
    Publication number: 20160367801
    Abstract: A cardiac resynchronization pacemaker and a method of adjusting the pacemaker. The method includes deriving a vectorcardiogram from implanted electrodes (D-VCG), analyzing the D-VCG, deriving optimal CRT pacing parameters from the analysis of the D-VCG, and adjusting the CRT pacemaker according to the derived parameters. The pacemaker may include a processor configured to perform the method.
    Type: Application
