    Abstract: A system and method for assessing cardiac performance through transcardiac impedance monitoring is described. Intracardiac impedance measures are directly collected through an implantable medical device. The intracardiac impedance measures are correlated to cardiac dimensional measures relative to performance of an intrathoracic pressure maneuver. The cardiac dimensional measures are grouped into at least one measures set corresponding to a temporal phase of the intrathoracic pressure maneuver. The at least one cardiac dimensional measures set is evaluated against a cardiac dimensional trend for the corresponding intrathoracic pressure maneuver temporal phase to represent cardiac performance.

    Abstract: An implantable system for ambulatory monitoring of a high-risk heart failure patient includes a first pressure sensor implantable within an abdomen of the patient for sensing and generating an output representative of a baseline intra-abdominal pressure value of the patient and for chronically sensing and generating an output representative of an intra-abdominal pressure value of the patient at periodic intervals. At least one second implantable sensor is provided for sensing and generating an output representative of a second physiological parameter of the patient. Additionally, the system includes a processor for correlating the output of the first pressure sensor and the second physiologic sensor, and for comparing differences between the baseline intra-abdominal pressure value and subsequent intra-abdominal pressure values. The processor can reside in another implantable device or in an external device/system.

    Abstract: An event-based approach to collecting and organizing information associated with events affecting respiration is presented. The detection or prediction of an event affecting the respiration of a patient initiates acquisition of information associated with the event. The respiratory logbook system acquires information associated with the event during the event and during intervals proximate in time to the event. The information is organized as a respiratory log entry. The user can access the information by operating a user interface. The information may be presented in textual or graphical form.

    Abstract: Systems and methods using constant false alarm rate techniques for event detection. One example of an event detection method includes collecting a first distribution of measurements for a first physiological parameter. In another example, the first distribution of measurements includes only non-event measurements. One or more values are determined corresponding to at least a first tail area of the first distribution from at least one measurement of the first physiological parameter toward an end point of the distribution. A threshold is established based on a specified false alarm rate. The one or more values are compared to the threshold. The method includes determining if the measurement is representative of a detected event using the comparison.

    Abstract: An implantable or other ambulatory medical apparatus comprises a posture sensing circuit, a physiologic sensing circuit that senses a time varying physiologic signal, and a processor circuit. The processor circuit includes a posture calculation circuit and a measurement circuit. The posture calculation circuit determines a posture of the subject using posture data obtained using the posture signal and determines when the posture of the subject is steady state. The measurement circuit derives a physiologic measurement using physiologic data extracted from the physiologic signal during at least one time period when posture is determined to be steady state and provides the physiologic measurement to at least one of a user and a process in association with the determined steady state posture.

    Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for determining sleep state, such as awake, sleeping, non-REM sleep, or REM sleep. Respiration and heart contractions are monitored. A cardio-respiratory ratio such as beats per breath is computed and used in the sleep state determination. Other information, such as heart rate variability (HRV), posture, and activity level can also be used in the sleep state determination. The sleep state information can be used to qualify or trigger storage of other physiological sensor data, or to permit remote sleep study monitoring of a subject, or to control or adjust one or more monitoring, diagnostic, or therapy algorithms, such as, for example a continuous positive airflow pressure (CPAP) device.
