Abstract: An implantable medical device system for regulating a heart of a patient. The system includes a first sensor, a second sensor, a processor, and a medical device. The first sensor is capable of sensing activity of a heart atrium. The second sensor is capable of sensing activity of a heart ventricle. The processor is coupled to the first and second sensors and is capable of determining an atrial cycle time and a ventricular cycle time based upon signals from the first and second sensors. The processor is further capable of generating a hemodynamic baseline ratio based upon an atrial cycle time and a ventricular cycle time of a hemodynamic heartbeat, as well as an active ratio based upon an atrial cycle time and a ventricular cycle time of an active heartbeat. The processor is further capable of comparing the hemodynamic baseline ratio and the active ratio, and determining a corrective action based upon this comparison.
