Abstract
A method includes selecting an electrode located in a patient; acquiring position information with respect to time for the electrode where the acquiring uses the electrode for repeatedly measuring electrical potentials in an electrical localization field established in the patient; calculating a stability metric for the electrode based on the acquired position information with respect to time; and deciding if the selected electrode, as located in the patient, has a stable location for sensing biological electrical activity, for delivering electrical energy or for sensing biological electrical activity and delivering electrical energy. Position information may be acquired during one or both of intrinsic or paced activation of a heart and respective stability indexes calculated for each activation type.
