Method and system to correct contractility based on non-heart failure factors
Abstract:
A method for trending heart failure measures cardiogenic impedance (CI) and obtains signals representing estimates for or direct measurements of at least one of cardiac volume and pressure of the heart when the CI measurements were obtained. The method identifies correction factors based on the signals and applies the correction factors to the contractility estimates. A system for trending heart failure includes a contractility module to determine contractility estimates from CI measurements taken along at least a first vector through a heart, and a collection module to receive signals representing estimates for or direct measurements of at least one of cardiac volume and pressure of the heart when the CI measurements were obtained. The system further includes a factor module to identify correction factors based on the signals and a correction module to apply the correction factors to the contractility estimates.
