Abstract
Some systems and methods may facilitate selection of a vector for delivering electrical stimulation to a patient's heart. One method may include displaying a plurality of vectors on a display screen wherein each vector represents a different combination of three or more electro-stimulation electrodes, determining an electrical impedance for each of the plurality of vectors, displaying on the display screen the electrical impedance for each of the plurality of vectors, receiving a selection of a set of the plurality of vectors, determining, for each of the vectors in the set of vectors, a capture threshold, displaying on the display screen the capture threshold for each of the vectors in the set of vectors, receiving a selection of a vector from the set of vectors for delivery of electrical stimulation to the patient's heart, and programming the electro-stimulation device electrical stimulation to the patient's heart via the selected vector.
