Claim Text:
1. A method of cardiac pacing employing a right ventricular electrode and a plurality of left ventricular electrodes, comprising: a) pacing in a first pacing configuration using the right ventricular electrode and a first one of the left ventricular electrodes and measuring activation times at other ones of the left ventricular electrodes; b) pacing in a second pacing configuration using the right ventricular electrode and a second one of the ventricular electrodes and measuring activation times at other ones of the left ventricular electrodes; and c) employing weighted sums of the measured activation times to select one of the left ventricular electrodes for delivery of subsequent pacing pulses, the weighted sums employing each non-pacing left ventricular electrode's physical distance from the left ventricular pacing electrode, wherein each sum being a weighted sum of the activation times measured at respective non-pacing left ventricular electrodes during a respective pacing.
