1. A cardiac function measurement and evaluation device that is a device for measuring and evaluating cardiac function in a subject, the device comprising:

  • thoracic impedance measuring unit;

    electrocardiogram measuring unit;

    arithmetic unit;

    storage unit; and

    display unit, whereinthe thoracic impedance measuring unit includes drive electrodes for applying an electrical current, and receive electrodes for extracting an impedance signal, and measures a plurality of continuous sets of thoracic impedances,the electrocardiogram measuring unit includes a signal detection module that detects electrocardiogram signals from electrodes applied to the subject, and measures a plurality of continuous sets of electrocardiogram signals,the arithmetic unit calculates (dZ/dt)min values of the plurality of continuous sets of thoracic impedances measured by the thoracic impedance measuring unit, and preceding RR intervals (RR1) of continuous sets of electrocardiogram data from R waves of the electrocardiogram signal obtained by the electrocardiogram measuring unit,the storage unit stores, as a data set;

    a (dZ/dt)min value of each of the sets of thoracic impedance data corresponding to an RR1 value of each of the calculated plurality of continuous sets of electrocardiogram data, andthe display unit displays each of the (dZ/dt)min values corresponding to each of the RR1 values.
