    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to an ambulatory medical device. The ambulatory medical device comprising an activity sensor configured to produce an activity signal representative of activity level of a patient, a heart sound sensor configured to produce a heart sound signal, and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to detect a change in activity level of the patient using the activity signal, enable monitoring of the heart sound signal in response to detecting the change in activity level, measure intensity of an S3 heart sound in the heart sound signal, and produce an indication of pulmonary hypertension (PH) when the measured intensity of the S3 heart sound exceeds a PH detection threshold intensity.
