Abstract
A first ventricle is stimulated at a stimulation site, a point of time for arrival at the AV node for at least one depolarization wave resulting from the stimulation is estimated and a first activation time interval substantially corresponding to the time interval required for at least one depolarization wave to travel from the stimulation site in the first ventricle to the AV node is computed. A similar process is used to compute a second activation time interval for the other ventricle. Based on these activation time intervals and a difference between the intervals, a pacing therapy can be determined.
