Abstract

Systems, methods, and devices are described herein for evaluation, adjustment, and delivery of adaptive cardiac therapy. The systems, methods, and devices may utilize electrical heterogeneity information to determine and/or select one or more pacing settings and pacing type or configurations for a plurality of different heart rates. The adaptive cardiac therapy may deliver cardiac therapy at selected pacing settings such as, for example, A-V and/or V-V intervals, according to a presently measured heart rate and switch between left ventricular-only or biventricular cardiac pacing therapy also according to the presently measured heart rate.
