System and methods for sensing vector selection

Systems and methods for evaluating multiple candidate sensing vectors for use in sensing electrical activity of a heart are disclosed. The system can sense physiologic signals using each of a plurality of candidate sensing vectors, and generate respective signal intensity indicators and interference indicators using the physiologic signals sensed by using the respective sensing vectors. The system can also receive electrode information of each of the candidate sensing vectors, including information about sensing electrodes that are also used for delivering cardiac electrostimulation. The system can rank at least some of the plurality of candidate sensing vectors according to the signal intensity indicators, the interference indicators, and the electrode information. The system can also include a user interface for displaying the ranked sensing vectors, and allowing the user to select at least one sensing vector for use in sensing the cardiac electrical activity.
