A system and method for identifying whether local tissue latency is present. The system and method comprises an implanted lead having a first electrode for cardiac pacing and sensing. A sensing module for sensing heart activity with the first electrode to produce an electrogram (EGM) waveform. A processor is configured to receive the EGM waveform and extract two or more features from the EGM waveform representative of heart activity in response to monoventricular or biventricular pacing stimulus at the electrode and identify local tissue latency at a site of the first electrode based upon at least two of the extracted features indicating local tissue latency.
