1. A method comprising the steps of:

  • sensing a first electrical signal from a patient'"'"'s heart indicative of the rate of depolarization of a chamber or chambers of said patient'"'"'s heart;

    sensing a second electrical signal from said patient'"'"'s heart indicative of the rate of depolarization of a chamber or chambers of said patient'"'"'s heart;

    assessing said first electrical signal to characterize changes in the rate of depolarization of said chamber or chambers of said patient'"'"'s heart over a period of time and issuing a first signal indicative of the magnitude of the rate modulation;

    assessing said second electrical signal to characterize changes in the rate of depolarization of said chamber or chambers of said patient'"'"'s heart over a period of time and issuing a second signal indicative of the magnitude of the rate modulation;

    analyzing said first signal indicative of the magnitude of the rate modulation and said second signal indicative of the magnitude of the rate modulation to assess the condition of the heart.
