1. A device for monitoring the heart of a patient, including:

  • a housing;

    a computing device mounted within the housing;

    an optical sensor mounted within the housing and adapted to provide signals to the computing device indicative of a distance from the optical sensor to a vessel carrying blood, as well a diameter of the vessel;

    a Doppler sensor mounted within the housing and adapted to provide signals to the computing device indicative of a velocity of the blood through the vessel; and

    an ECG sensor mounted within the housing and adapted to provide signals to the computing device indicative of a plurality of electrical stimuli that cause the heart to pump;

    the computing device using signals from the optical sensor, the Doppler sensor, and the ECG sensor to compute parameters including oxygen saturation of the blood, blood flow, blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac output.
