1. An integrated system for managing cardiac rhythm including both a wearable device and an implanted device, wherein this system comprises:

  • a wearable device which is configured to be worn by a person, wherein the wearable device further comprises a light emitter which is configured to emit light toward the person'"'"'s body tissue, a light receiver which is configured to receive light from the light emitter after the light has passed through and/or been reflected from the person'"'"'s body tissue, and a wireless data transmitter; and

    a cardiac rhythm management device which is configured to be implanted within the person, wherein the cardiac rhythm management device further comprises an electromagnetic energy emitter which is configured to deliver electromagnetic energy to the person'"'"'s heart in order to manage cardiac rhythm and a wireless data receiver;

    wherein differences between the spectral distribution of light emitted from the light emitter and the spectral distribution of light received by the light receiver are analyzed in order to measure the amount of an analyte in the person'"'"'s body tissue; and

    wherein the operation of the cardiac rhythm management device is changed based on the amount of the analyte in the person'"'"'s body tissue.
