摘要:
Methods and device for determining a pacing vector for delivering an electrostimulation therapy are described. An implantable medical device may be configured to determine an anode capture threshold and a cathode capture threshold for a first anode and cathode pair of electrodes, switch a polarity of the first anode and cathode pair of electrodes, and determine an anode capture threshold and a cathode capture threshold for the first anode and cathode pair of electrodes having the switched polarity. The implantable medical device may be further configured to compare a cathodal capture threshold for the anode and cathode pair having the switched polarity to the anodal capture threshold of the first anode and cathode pair of electrodes and select either an anode or a cathode for delivering an electrostimulation therapy based at least in part on the comparison. Other methods and systems are also contemplated and described.
