Systems and methods are provided for adjusting atrioventricular timing of
a cardiac resynchronization therapy device, based upon multi-modal
sensory data. In one particular embodiment, one or more acoustic signals
are processed and categorized into certain cardiac-related mechanical
events. Impedance waveforms are obtained from implanted electrodes and
analyzed to identify certain valvular events. The acoustic and impedance
data is analyzed to optimize AV timing and improve cardiac performance.
