Method and apparatus to perform electrode combination selection
First Claim
1. An implantable medical device system, comprising:
- a programmer comprising a processor, a user interface and a telemetry module; and
an implantable medical device comprising a battery, a telemetry circuit, a module, and a processor and associated memory, the implantable medical device configured to establish a programmable parameter and a plurality of values of the parameter to be compared;
enable the module to perform a measurement for each of the plurality of values and related to energy expenditure of the battery when operating according to each of the plurality of values;
implement the processor to compute an energy expenditure for each of the plurality of values using the measurements; and
transmit energy expenditure information to the programmer, the programmer configured to generate a graphical user interface displaying information corresponding to the computed energy expenditure for the plurality of values.

Abstract
Electrical stimulation may be delivered to a patient'"'"'s heart using a plurality of cardiac electrodes. Each electrode combination may be evaluated based on one or more first parameters and one or more second parameters. In many cases, the one or more first parameters are supportive of cardiac function consistent with a prescribed therapy and the one or more second parameters are not supportive of cardiac function consistent with the prescribed therapy. The electrode combination selected to deliver a cardiac pacing therapy may be more associated with the one or more first parameters supportive of cardiac function consistent with the prescribed therapy and less associated with the one or more second parameters inconsistent with cardiac function.
