1. An apparatus comprising:
- a sensor circuit configured to produce a time-varying physiologic sensor signal of a subject; and
a pathology detection circuit communicatively coupled to the sensor and configured to;
detect a first pathological episode using the physiologic sensor signal;
deem that the first pathological episode has ended;
detect at least one second pathological episode using the physiologic sensor signal; and
indicate the first and second pathological episodes as one pathological episode if the first and second episodes are detected within a specified time interval.

Abstract
An apparatus comprises a sensor circuit configured to produce a time-varying physiologic sensor signal of a subject and a pathology detection circuit communicatively coupled to the sensor. The pathology detection circuit is configured to detect a first pathological episode using the sensed physiologic sensor signal, deem that the first pathological episode has ended, detect at least one second pathological episode using the sensed physiologic sensor signal, and indicate the first and second pathological episodes as one pathological episode if the first and second episode are detected within a specified time interval.

14. A method comprising:
-
detecting a first pathological episode of a subject with a medical device, wherein the first pathological episode is detected using a sensed time-varying physiologic sensor signal; deeming, with the medical device, that the first pathological episode has ended; detecting at least one second pathological episode with the medical device; and deeming, with the medical device, that the first and second pathological episodes are one episode if the first and second episodes are detected within a specified time interval. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
