ABSTRACT:
A cardiac rhythm management device is configured to detect oscillations in cardiac rhythm by measuring the amplitudes of heart sounds during successive heart beats. Upon detection of acoustic alternans, the device may adjust its operating behavior to compensate for the deleterious effects of the condition.
