At least one of a left intraventricular conduction defect, a right intraventricular conduction defect, or no intraventricular conduction defect can be detected using received intrinsic cardiac information from a subject, and a first atrioventricular (AV) delay can be calculated using a first relationship if the left intraventricular conduction defect or no intraventricular conduction defect is detected, or a second AV delay can be calculated using a second relationship if the right intraventricular conduction defect is detected.
