1. A system comprising:
- a replacement heart valve configured to be implanted in a heart;
a physiological sensor coupled to the replacement heart valve, the physiological sensor configured to sense an intrinsic electrical cardiac signal of the heart; and
a medical device configured to provide pacing therapy or defibrillation therapy to the heart, the medical device in communication with the physiological sensor and configured to adjust the pacing therapy or the defibrillation therapy to the heart based on the sensed intrinsic electrical cardiac signal.

Abstract
Systems and methods using a heart valve and an implantable medical device, such as for event detection and optimization of cardiac output. The cardiac management system includes a heart valve, having a physiological sensor. The physiological sensor is adapted to measure at least one of an intrinsic electrical cardiac parameter, a hemodynamic parameter or the like. The system further includes an implantable electronics unit, such as a cardiac rhythm management unit, coupled to the physiological sensor of the heart valve to receive physiological information. The electronics unit is adapted to use the received physiological information to control delivery of an electrical output to the subject.
