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 18):
The method of  claim 11 , including:\n generating a sensed cardiac signal for each of a plurality of pacing sites using the medical device system; measuring a capture threshold of the pacing sites using the sensed cardiac signal; and generating an indication of selection of the pacing site based on the measured capture threshold and the measured parameter of the S1 heart sound.
