Abstract
In a device and a method for providing correlated measures for predicting potential occurrence of atrial fibrillation, an impedance of the patient is measured to obtain impedance information; cardiogenic data is determined from the information; respiratory data is determined from the information; at least one hemodynamic measure is calculated from the cardiogenic data and at least one apnea measure is calculated from the respiratory data; the hemodynamic and apnea measures are correlated such that the correlated measures can be utilized for predicting potential occurrence of atrial fibrillation.
