A system for treating the malfunctioning heart of a patient includes means which derive at least one electrical signal from the patient's heart and means which derive at least one physiologic signal from or related to the patient's circulatory system, a central processing unit with a RAM and a ROM, receives and responds to the at least one electrical signal and to the at least one physiologic signal. Output means controlled by the central processing unit provides corrective measure(s) to the patient. A method of treating the malfunctioning heart of a patient, includes deriving at least one electrical signal from the patient's heart, deriving at least one physiologic signal from or related to the patient's circulatory system, processing the at least one electrical signal and the at least physiologic signal, and providing a corrective measure or measures to the patient whenever a malfunction is identified.
