In a device for monitoring the heart cycle of a human heart such that coronary flow may be maintained at a desired level, and a heart stimulator including such a device, the monitoring device is connectable to a first sensor adapted to be positioned at a first location of the heart and arranged for sensing cardiac wall movements at the first location, and to a second sensor adapted to be positioned at a second location of the heart and arranged for sensing cardiac wall movements at said second location. Processing circuitry receives output signals from the first and second sensors, which output signals are indicative of myocardial relaxation at said first and second locations. The processing circuitry determines the time of myocardial relaxation at the first and second locations, and provides a diastolic synchronization signal indicative of the synchrony in the time of myocardial relaxation between the first location and the second location.
