A method of analyzing cardiac functions in a subject using a processing system. The method includes causing one or more electrical signals to be applied to the subject using a first set of electrodes, the one or more electrical signals having a plurality of frequencies. The method includes determining an indication of electrical signals measured across a second set of electrodes applied to the subject in response to the applied one or more signals. Following this, and for a number of sequential time instances, the method includes determining from the indicating data and the one or more applied signals, an instantaneous impedance value at each of the plurality of frequencies, and determining, using the using instantaneous impedance values, an intracellular impedance parameter. The intracellular impedance parameter over at least one cardiac cycle is the used to determine one or more parameters relating to cardiac function. |
