Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 17:
18. The method of claim 11, further comprising:
generating a unipolar pacing pulse delivered via the cathode;
generating a bipolar pacing pulse delivered via the cathode and the anode;
receiving at least the first cardiac electrical signal by:
receiving a first unipolar signal via the anode; and
receiving a second cardiac electrical signal as a second unipolar signal via the cathode;

determining, from the first unipolar signal and the second unipolar signal following the unipolar pacing pulse, a first activation time difference from a first fiducial point of the first unipolar signal to a second fiducial point of the second unipolar signal;
determining, from the first unipolar signal and the second unipolar signal following the bipolar pacing pulse, a second activation time difference from the first fiducial point of the first unipolar signal to the second fiducial point of the second unipolar signal;
determining that the second activation time difference is less than the first activation time difference; and
determining that the at least one feature meets the first bundle branch capture criteria in response to the second activation time difference being less than the first activation time difference.
