1. A heart failure hospitalization management system, comprising:

  • one or more sensors to sense one or more physiological signals;

    a sensor processing circuit, coupled to the one or more sensors, to produce sensor data representative of the sensed one or more physiological signals; and

    a heart failure analyzer coupled to the sensor processing circuit, the heart failure analyzer including;

    a data input adapted to receive diagnostic data indicative of one or more conditions associated with heart failure, the data input including a sensor data input configured to receive the sensor data;

    a diagnostic data processor adapted to produce one or more parameters using the diagnostic data;

    a mode switch adapted to switch an operational mode of the heart failure analyzer to a hospitalization mode in response to a mode-change command; and

    a risk analyzer adapted to produce a risk class parameter during the hospitalization mode, the risk class parameter classifying a level of risk for rehospitalization within a specified period using the one or more parameters.
