Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A

Claim 0:
1. A computer implemented method for monitoring a trend in heart failure (HF) progression, the method comprising:
sensing ventricular activation events at multiple ventricular sensing sites, where the activation events are generated in response to an intrinsic or paced ventricular event;
implementing program instructions on one or more processors for automatically:
identifying a morphology pattern (MP) for cardiac signals associated with the activation events;
determining a conduction pattern (CP) across the sensing sites based on the activation events;
repeating the sensing and identifying operations, at select intervals, to build a MP collection and a CP collection; and
calculating an HF trend based at least in part on the MP collection and the CP collection.
