1. A wearable monitoring device for monitoring an intrabody region during a stress ergometry test for detecting a pathological state in a patient, comprising:
- at least one probe comprising at least one transducer configured for transmitting to and intercepting electromagnetic (EM) radiation from at least one intrabody region of the lungs of the patient while said patient is performing the stress examination test;
at least one hardware processor in communication with the at least one probe, and in communication with the at least one of a communication interface and a display;
a non-transitory memory having stored thereon a code for execution by the at least one hardware processor of the wearable monitoring device, comprising;
code for detecting a breathing cycle of the patient according to an analysis of the intercepted EM radiation transmitted by the at least one probe;
code for calculating a dielectric related change of the at least one intrabody region by analyzing respective said intercepted EM radiation transmitted by the at least one probe in view of a differential signal computed according to the detected breathing cycle; and
code for detecting a change in measured fluid in the lungs during said stress examination test according to said dielectric related change,wherein said change in measured fluid is detected relative to a baseline level of fluid within the at least one intrabody tissue, wherein the baseline level of fluid is measured during a calibration stage performed before monitoring of the stress examination test is initiated; and
code for outputting via at least one of the communication interface and the display, a notification indicative of said change in measured fluid in the lungs during said stress examination test, wherein said change in measured fluid in the lungs is indicative of the pathological state of the patient with higher sensitivity and/or specificity in comparison to stress examination test alone.

Abstract
A method for monitoring an intrabody region of a patient. The method comprises intercepting electromagnetic (EM) radiation from the intrabody region in a plurality of EM radiation sessions during a period of at least 6 hours, calculating a dielectric related change of the intrabody region by analyzing respective the intercepted EM radiation, detecting a physiological pattern according to said dielectric related change and outputting a notification indicating the physiological pattern.
