1. A method of monitoring cardiac function of a patient, the method comprising:
- receiving a position input from a position sensor attached to the patient;
classifying the position input into a position class;
accessing model cardiac waveform parameters for the position class;
receiving cardiac waveform data for the patient;
determining whether model waveform parameters are established for the position class;
establishing new model waveform parameters for the position class if none exist; and
comparing the cardiac waveform data to the model cardiac waveform parameters for the position class.

Abstract
A method of monitoring the cardiac function of a patient includes receiving a position input from a position sensor attached to the patient and classifying the position input into a position class. Cardiac waveform data is received for the patient and then the cardiac waveform data is compared to model waveform parameters for the position class.
