BLOOD PRESSURE IRREGULARITY SENSING
First Claim
1. A medical device comprising:
- a central processing unit (CPU) that is configured to control operation of the device;
a display screen; and
a set of one or more computer readable data storage media storing software instructions that, when executed by the CPU, cause the device to;
obtain a set of data associated with a patient'"'"'s non-invasive blood pressure cycle reading;
provide a representation of a pulse interval map on the display screen based on the set of data, the pulse interval map including one or more interval data points representing intervals between heat beats; and
alert a caregiver if one or more of the interval data points fall outside an interval bound.

Abstract
A medical device obtains a set of data associated with a patient'"'"'s non-invasive blood pressure cycle reading, provides a representation of a pulse interval map on the display screen based on the set of data, the pulse interval map including one or more interval data points representing intervals between heat beats, and alerts a caregiver if one or more of the interval data points fall outside an interval bound. The medical device can also plot a pulse volume map on the display screen based on the set of data, the pulse volume map including one more volume data points representing volumes associated with given heat beats, and alert a caregiver if one or more of the volume data points fall outside a volume bound.

18. A method for estimating pulse irregularity, the method comprising:
-
obtaining a set of data associated with a patient'"'"'s non-invasive blood pressure cycle reading; plotting a pulse interval map on a display screen based on the set of data, the pulse interval map including one or more interval data points representing intervals between heat beats; alerting a caregiver if one or more of the interval data points fall outside an interval bound; plotting a pulse volume map on the display screen based on the set of data, the pulse volume map including one more volume data points representing volumes associated with given heat beats; calculating an integrated pulse volume based on the pulse volume map; and alerting the caregiver if one or more of the volume data points fall outside a volume bound, wherein the pulse volume map includes an upper bound and a lower bound represented by curves, a space between the upper and lower bounds representing a normal variation limits for pulse volumes, and wherein the device identifies beats falling within the space between the upper and lower bounds as representing beats with normal stroke volumes, and beats falling outside the space as representing irregular stroke volumes. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
