System and method for evaluating a patient status for use in heart failure assessment
First Claim
1. A system for evaluating a patient status for use in heart failure assessment, comprising:
- an implantable medical device configured to periodically collect patient data on a long-term, daily basis, wherein the implantable medical device is further configured to store a collected measures set containing a portion of the patient data;
a comparison module configured to receive the collected measures set and compare the collected measures set to a second collected measures set containing comparison data to determine a trend in the patient data;
an analysis module configured to generate a patient status indicator based on the trend; and
a feedback module configured to provide a notification of a potential medical concern based on the patient status indicator, wherein the patient data comprises the number of device interventions made, the type of device interventions made, and the relative success of any interventions made on a per heartbeat or binned average basis.

Abstract
A system and method for evaluating a patient status from sampled physiometry for use in heart failure assessment is presented. Physiological measures are stored, including at least one of direct measures regularly recorded on a substantially continuous basis by an implantable medical device for a patient and measures derived from the direct measures. At least one of those of the physiological measures, which each relate to a same type of physiometry, and those of the physiological measures, which each relate to a different type of physiometry are sampled. A status for the patient is determined through analysis of the sampled physiological measures assembled from a plurality of recordation points. The sampled physiological measures are evaluated. Trends that are indicated by the patient status, which might affect cardiac performance of the patient, are identified. Each trend is compared to worsening heart failure indications to generate a notification of parameter violations.
