Abstract
Systems and methods are described herein for evaluation and adjustment of a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). The systems and methods may utilize at least a plurality of external electrodes to monitor cardiac electrical activity before and during LVAD therapy. The cardiac electrical activity as well as other information such cardiac sound information may be used to determine and adjust one or more LVAD output parameters such as pump speed.
