Abstract
An auxiliary assessment method for cardiac function performed by a computing unit includes collecting a number of heartbeats and an amount of movement of a subject in a period of time; and calculating a distance per beat to assess cardiac function of the subject. The distance per beat is defined by dividing the amount of movement by the number of heartbeats. A length of the period of time is defined between at least two adjacent heartbeats. The amount of movement corresponds to a cumulative amount of movement in the period of time.
