ABSTRACT:
In an implantable pacemaker or cardioversion/defibrillation device, the optimal electrodes for determining a pacing parameter are found. A test signal is sequentially switched and a response from each of the remaining electrodes is determined. From those responses an optimal electrode or electrode pair is selected and used for pacing parameter determination. If an optimal electrode (a pair) is not found, then a fall back pacing rate is used.
