Abstract
In some examples, controlling delivery of CRT includes delivering ventricular pacing according to a sequence of different values of at least one of A-V delay or V-V delay, and acquiring one or more electrograms from respective vectors. For each of the different values of the at least one of A-V delay or V-V delay, at least one of a QRS amplitude or a QRS area may be determined based on the one or more electrograms, and a target change in QRS amplitude or QRS area between adjacent ones of the values of the at least one of A-V delay or V-V delay of the sequence may be identified. In response to the identification of the target change, the implantable medical device may deliver the ventricular pacing at a value of the at least one of A-V delay or V-V delay determined based on the identification to provide CRT.
