摘要：
Embodiments of the present invention relate to implantable systems, and methods for use therewith, for monitoring myocardial electro-mechanical stability, and responding to the same. One or more signal indicative of electrical functioning of a patients heart is obtained, as is one or more signal indicative of mechanical functioning of the patients heart. The patients myocardial electrical stability is monitored based on the one or more signal indicative of electrical functioning of the patients heart, and the patients myocardial mechanical stability is monitored based on the one or more signal indicative of mechanical functioning of the patients heart. Based on both the myocardial electrical stability and myocardial mechanical stability, the patients risk of an adverse cardiac event is monitored. Further, when the patient is at risk of an adverse cardiac event, a response is triggered that is specific to both the myocardial electrical stability and the myocardial mechanical stability. This abstract is not intended to be a complete description of, or limit the scope of, the invention.
