A method and apparatus for delivering cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT) in which an evoked response electrogram is recorded during one or
more cardiac cycles and used to aid in the selection of resynchronization
pacing parameters and/or to monitor the effectiveness of
resynchronization therapy. The morphology of an evoked response
electrogram may be recorded and analyzed to determine if and when
intrinsic activation of one ventricle is occurring in order to optimally
adjust the programmed atrio-ventricular (AV) delay interval for
ventricular resynchronization pacing of a patient with intact AV node
conduction.
