Abstract
A system and method of adjusting therapy delivery in an implantable cardiac stimulation device including establishing a plurality of setting combinations for at least two variable parameters of the implantable cardiac stimulation device affecting delivery of therapy. At least one aspect of a patient's physiologic performance is evaluated under individual ones of the plurality of setting combinations selected such that at least one of the two variable parameters vary among the plurality of combinations. A setting combination providing more optimal patient physiologic performance is programmed for future delivery of therapy. An external device can provide measurements indicative of cardiac performance. Measurements of cardiac performance can also be obtained by an implantable device.
