A device and a method thereof for determining a hemodynamic state of an individual from a magnitude of a perfusion signal or a signal which is a measure of a volume of blood in the thoracic cavity of the individual, wherein the control device is configured to receive a first signal and a heart rate signal, divide the first signal into frames, wherein a frame length is determined from an oscillation period of the heart rate signal, and determine a magnitude of the first signal from at least two frames, so as to obtain a more reliable magnitude of the first signal.

Method and an apparatus for determining hemodynamic status

A pacemaker programming apparatus for programming a pacemaker in an individual. The apparatus comprises means for determining the sensed-paced difference of the pacemaker in the individual: first testing means for determining the optimum AV delay while the pacemaker is atrially pacing at a raised at a heart rate; and calculation means for calculating the optimum AV delay determined by the first testing means minus the sensed-paced difference.

Apparatus and method for programming a pacemaker

A pacemaker optimising apparatus comprising: a component () which noninvasively or invasively monitors a haemodynamic measurement continuously in an individual and a processor () for receiving the haemodynamic measure and generating a pacemaker programming signal in response to this. There is also provided a communication device () for sending the pacemaker programming signal to the control system of the pacemaker (). There is also a method for an efficient process by which this apparatus can automatically use the haemodynamic measurements to determine the ideal settings for a particular pacemaker in a particular individual, and to updates the pacemaker's settings accordingly.
