Support of heart function in the case of chronic cardiac insufficiency

Support of heart function in the case of chronic cardiac insufficiency

The present disclosure relates to a method of assessing heart function and a system for assessing heart function.

Features in the monitored cardiac activity indicative of abnormal cardiac function are automatically detected.

The method may be used to determine heart rate, blood pressure, cardiac output, stroke volume, cardiac function, circulatory function, and other parameters.

By enhancing cardiac function, the development of heart failure can be attenuated or prevented.

The present invention relates to methods for the diagnosis of impaired cardiac function/heart disease.

Cardiac pacing to treat ventricle dysynchrony for improved cardiac function is performed as follows.

The methods are useful in the regulation of heart function.

Cardiac function of the patient is simulated using the patient-specific multi-physics computational heart model.

A system for improving cardiac function is provided.

According to the inventive device, the duration of the stimulation interval is changed depending on the evaluated cardiac function parameter.

A cardiac assist device and method of use for assisting the function of a heart (20).

The function-calculating means calculates cardiac function data pertaining to the movements of the cardiac muscle of the subject on the basis of the medical image data.
