Abstract:
An apparatus comprises a cardiac signal sensing circuit configured to sense a plurality of intrinsic cardiac signals using a plurality of cardiac pacing sites, a heart sound sensing circuit, a stimulus circuit configured to provide an electrical cardiac pacing stimulus to the plurality of pacing sites, and a control circuit electrically coupled to the cardiac signal sensing circuit and the stimulus circuit. The control circuit includes a pacing site locating circuit configured to generate an indication of a preferred pacing site as one of a) a subset of the respective cardiac pacing sites selected using the intrinsic ventricular activation time interval value, from which subset the preferred pacing site is selected using the heart sound characteristic value; or b) a subset of the respective cardiac pacing sites selected using the heart sound characteristic value, from which subset the preferred pacing site is selected using the ventricular activation time interval value.

Claim (Index 7):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , including:\n a cardiac signal sensing circuit configured to generate a sensed cardiac signal at a plurality of pacing sites; wherein the control circuit is configured to:\n initiate a measurement of a time interval between a Q-wave and left ventricular activation using the sensed cardiac signal; and \n generate an indication of identification of the pacing site based on the measured time interval and the measured parameter of the S1 heart sound.
