Abstract
Various embodiments include methods for conducting cardiac resynchronization therapy and systems implementing the method. Various embodiments may include generating, using a processing unit, a three-dimensional (3D) activation map showing the propagation of electrical signals through a heart of a patient, identifying a stimulation point on the heart for cardiac resynchronization; generating real-time images of the heart, displaying, on a display unit, the stimulation point on the real-time images as a virtual stimulation point, implanting a pacing device into the patient at the identified stimulation point, such that the pace maker is aligned with the virtual stimulation point in the real-time images, and stimulating the heart using the pacing device.
