Abstract

An exemplary method includes providing at least two-dimensional position information, for at least two points in time, for an electrode located in a cardiac space; determining a local estimator based on the position information; and, based at least in part on the determined local estimator, selecting a configuration for delivering a cardiac pacing therapy or diagnosing a cardiac condition. Exemplary methods for regional estimators and exemplary methods for global estimators are also disclosed along with devices and systems configured to perform various methods.
