Abstract
Methods and related systems and devices for cardiac therapy use pseudo-electric vectors (PEVs) for characterizing and representing the electrical forces generated by a patient's heart in a three-dimensional (3D) manner. PEVs may be used to predict whether a patient will respond to pacing therapy prior to implant, during implant, or in the follow-up after implant. Various cardiac therapy systems and devices, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) belt or vest, which may include a plurality of external electrodes, may be used to obtain electrical activity information to generate the PEVs. One or more spatio-temporal PEVs may be determined using one or more sensors at one or more points in time. Spatial representation data may be determined based on the PEVs.
