ABSTRACT:
A medical device chronically monitors cardiac function in a patient. An input circuit of the medical device receives a pressure signal representative of a pressure sensed within a ventricle of the patient's heart as a function of time. A processor derives from the pressure signal a myocardial performance index based upon pressures in the ventricle. The processor then provides an output based upon the myocardial performance index.
