#$%^&*AU2012201930A120120426.pdf#####METHOD AND APPARATUS TO PERFORM ELECTRODE COMBINATION SELECTION Abstract Disclosed is a method comprising: delivering electrical stimulation to a patients heart using a plurality of cardiac electrodes supported inside the patient by one or more at least partially implanted leads and an evaluation unit having an analyzer circuit that is external of the patient and attached to the one or more leads receiving user-determined electrode combination selection criteria from a user via the evaluation unit evaluating, for each electrode combination of a plurality of electrode combinations of the plurality of cardiac electrodes, one or more first parameters and one or more second parameters produced by the electrical stimulation delivered using the electrode combination, the first parameters supportive of cardiac function consistent with a prescribed therapy and the second parameters not supportive of cardiac function consistent with the prescribed therapy selecting one or more electrode combinations of the plurality of cardiac electrodes based, at least in part, on the user-determined electrode combination selection criteria and programming an implantable pacing circuit to deliver a cardiac pacing therapy that preferentially uses the selected one or more electrode combinations relative to other electrode combinations of the plurality of cardiac electrodes. 6170654-1
