Claim One:
1. A method for selecting a position for an electrode for delivering cardiac pacing therapy, said method comprising: providing three-dimensional position information, for at least two points in time of a cardiac cycle, for an electrode located at a first position in a cardiac space and determining a first local estimator for the electrode at the first position, wherein the first local estimator is a volume derived from the position information of the electrode at the first position; providing three-dimensional position information, for at least two points in time of a cardiac cycle, for an electrode located at a second position in the cardiac space and determining a second local estimator for the electrode at the second position, wherein the second local estimator is a volume derived from the position information of the electrode at the second position; comparing the first local estimator with the second local estimator to identify which of the first position or second position has the greater volume; and selecting the identified first position or the second position as the position for the electrode for delivering cardiac pacing therapy.
