ABSTRACT:
An elastic framework configured to be positioned around a portion of the heart has a plurality of first regions and a plurality of second regions positioned relative to the first regions. The framework allows for the positioning of the first regions and second regions adjacent the outer surface of the heart and is structured so that the regions experience different movement effects in response to expansion and contraction of the heart. A sensor network having at least one motion sensor system associated with one of the first regions and second regions is associated with the framework. The motion sensor system outputs data responsive to the relative movement effects of the first and second regions. A communications system in communication with the sensor network provides for the transmission of motion data to a location remote from the framework.
