1. A method of assessing effectiveness of cardiac therapy, comprising:

  • delivering cardiac resynchronization pacing pulses to left and right ventricles of a patient'"'"'s heart to control synchronization of contractions of the left and right ventricles;

    collecting an evoked response from an intracardiac electrogram (IEGM) of the left and right ventricles in response to the delivered pacing pulses;

    extracting one or more parameters from the collected evoked response;

    collecting data associated with activity of the patient; and

    cross correlating the one or more parameters extracted from the evoked response and the collected activity data to generate an indication of effectiveness of the cardiac resynchronization pulses delivered to the left and right ventricles.
