ABSTRACT:
A cardiac rhythm management (CRM) system includes a non-invasive hemodynamic sensing device and an implantable medical device to sense a hemodynamic signal and derive one or more cardiac performance parameters from the hemodynamic signal. The non-invasive hemodynamic sensing device includes at least a portion configured for external attachment to a body in which the implantable medical device is implanted. The one or more cardiac performance parameters are used for various diagnostic, monitoring, and therapy control purposes.
