A method and apparatus for selection of one or more ventricular chambers
to stimulate for ventricular resynchronization therapy. Intrinsic
intracardia electrograms that include QRS complexes, are recorded from a
left and right ventricle. A timing relationship between the intrinsic
intracardia electrograms recorded from the left and right ventricle is
then determined. In one embodiment, the timing relationship is determined
using a delay between a left ventricular and a right ventricular sensed
intrinsic ventricular depolarizations and a duration interval of one or
more QRS complexes. In one embodiment, the duration of QRS complexes is
determined from either intracardiac electrograms or from surface ECG
recordings. One or more ventricular chambers in which to provide pacing
pulses are then selected based on the timing relationship between
intrinsic intracardia electrograms recorded from the right and left
ventricle, and the duration of one or more QRS complexes.
