Abstract: An exemplary method includes accessing cardiac information acquired via a catheter located at various positions in a venous network of a heart of a patient where the cardiac information comprises position information, electrical information and mechanical information; mapping local electrical activation times to anatomic positions to generate an electrical activation time map; mapping local mechanical activation times to anatomic positions to generate a mechanical activation time map; generating an electromechanical delay map by subtracting local electrical activation times from corresponding local mechanical activation times; and rendering at least the electromechanical delay map to a display Various other methods, devices, systems, etc, are also disclosed

Left ventricular lead electrical delay predicts response to cardiac resynchronization therapy
Jagmeet P. Singh,Dali Fan,E. Kevin Heist,Chrisfouad R. Alabiad,Cynthia C. Taub,Vivek Y. Reddy,Moussa Mansour,Michael H. Picard,Jeremy N. Ruskin,Theofanie Mela +9 more
TL;DR: Measuring LV lead electrical delay is useful during CRT device implantation because it may help predict hemodynamic response and long-term clinical outcome, and is associated with worse clinical outcome within the entire cohort.

Electrocardiographic imaging of cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure: observation of variable electrophysiologic responses.

TL;DR: Results suggest that when accompanied by fusion, LV pacing alone can be as effective as biventricular pacing for electrical resynchronization and efficacy of CRT depends strongly on the patient-specific electrophysiologic substrate.
