Abstract
Methods and systems for optimizing stimulation of a heart of a patient are disclosed. The method comprises: determining recommended pacing settings including recommended AV delays and/or recommended VV delays based on IEGM data. Further, at least one hemodynamical parameter is determined based on measured at least one hemodynamical signal. Reference pacing settings are determined including reference AV delays and/or reference VV delays based on said hemodynamical parameters. An AV delay correction value and a VV delay correction value are calculated as a difference between recommended AV and/or VV delays and reference AV and/or VV delays, respectively. The correction values are used for updating recommended AV and/or VV delays, respectively.
