1. A method, comprising:

  • detecting respiration of a patient over a period of time;

    computing a plurality of respiration rates for the period of time based on the detected patient respiration;

    calculating a distribution of the respiration rates based on the plurality of respiration rates;

    determining the patient'"'"'s rapid shallow breathing (RSB) burden for the time period using the respiration rate distribution, the RSB burden characterized by rapid shallow breathing of the patient during the time period; and

    producing an output indicative of the patient'"'"'s heart failure status based on the patient'"'"'s RSB burden.
