Abstract
Systems and methods for selecting one or more sites at or within at least one heart chamber for cardiac stimulation are disclosed. The system can include a physiologic sensor circuit to sense physiologic signals at two or more candidate stimulation sites. The system can generate respective activation timing indicators corresponding to the two or more candidate stimulation sites, and detect MI indicators indicating the presence of, or spatial proximity of each of the two or more candidate stimulation sites to a MI tissue. The system can use the activation timing indicators and the MI indicators to select at least one target stimulation site or to determine an electrostimulation vector. The system can display the selected target stimulation site to a user, or deliver electrostimulation to the patient at the target stimulation site or according to the determined electrostimulation vector.
