Abstract
A system and method for identifying patients with asynchronous ventricular contractions due to abnormal electro-mechanical coupling and computing optimal pacing parameters for restoring synchronous contractions is disclosed. Such patients may have normal intra-ventricular and inter-ventricular conduction and cannot be identified from intrinsic conduction data alone such as QRS width. Techniques for computing optimal resynchronization pacing in order to compensate for abnormal electro-mechanical coupling are also described.
