Abstract
Methods for assessing, diagnosing and treating medical conditions using SvO2 and hematocrit measurements alone, or in combination with other measurements related to cardiac activity are provided. These includes methods for distinguishing true anemia from diluted anemia, methods for anemia detection, methods for measuring disease progression based on anemia trending, methods for managing therapy delivery, methods for managing heart failure drug therapies, methods for cardiac output optimization based on SvO2, methods for cardiac resynchronization therapy lead placement, method for detection of heart failure decompensation, and methods to monitor and treat systolic versus diastolic heart failure are provided.
