摘要：
The present invention involves approaches for selecting one or more electrodecombinations. Various method embodiments can include means for implantinga plurality of cardiac electrodes supported by one or more leads in a patient,attaching the one or more leads to a patient external analyzer circuit, meansfor delivering electrical stimulation to the patient's heart using theplurality of cardiac electrodes and the analyzer circuit, means for evaluating,for each electrode combination of a plurality of electrode combinations of theplurality of cardiac electrodes, one or more first parameters and one or moresecond parameters produced by the electrical stimulation delivered using theelectrode combination, the first parameters supportive of cardiac functionconsistent with a prescribed therapy and the second parameters not supportiveof cardiac function consistent with the prescribed therapy, means for selectingone or more electrode combinations of the plurality of cardiac electrodes basedon the evaluation, the one or more electrode combinations selected as being associatedwith the one or more first parameters and less associated with the one or more secondparameters relative to other electrode combinations of the plurality of cardiacelectrodes, means for programming an implantable pacing circuit to delivera cardiac pacing therapy that preferentially uses the selected one or more electrodecombinations relative to other electrode combinations of the plurality of cardiacelectrodes, means for detaching the one or more leads from the analyzer circuit,means for attaching the one or more leads to the implantable pacing circuit, andmeans for implanting the implantable pacing circuit.
