CARDIAC INFORMATION AND ACTIVITY INFORMATION ASSOCIATION SYSTEMS, APPARATUS, AND METHODS
First Claim
1. A method performed by an implantable cardiac apparatus, the method comprising the steps of:
- generating cardiac information descriptive of cardiac functioning of a patient;
detecting a cardiac anomaly based on an analysis of the cardiac information;
generating activity information descriptive of physical activity of the patient during the cardiac anomaly;
associating the cardiac information and the activity information, during the cardiac anomaly, to generate associated cardiac/activity information; and
storing the associated cardiac/activity information.

Abstract
Embodiments include cardiac information and activity information association systems, apparatus, and methods. An apparatus embodiment includes a cardiac sensor adapted to generate cardiac information descriptive of cardiac functioning of a patient, an activity sensor adapted to generate activity information indicating physical activity of the patient, a processing element adapted to detect a cardiac anomaly based on the cardiac information, an information association element adapted to generate associated cardiac/activity information during the cardiac anomaly, and a data storage apparatus adapted to store the associated cardiac/activity information. A method embodiment includes generating cardiac information descriptive of cardiac functioning of a patient, detecting a cardiac anomaly based on the cardiac information, generating activity information descriptive of physical activity of the patient during the cardiac anomaly, associating the cardiac information and the activity information, during the cardiac anomaly, to generate associated cardiac/activity information, and storing the associated cardiac/activity information.
