Compared to normal ventricular activation, the presence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) results in a significant change in cardiac cycle time intervals."

"Some of these have been used to quantify the underlying cardiac dyssynchrony, assess the effects of biventricular pacing, and guide programming of ventricular pacing devices. This study evaluates a simple noninvasive method using accelerometers attached to the skin to measure cardiac time intervals in...
