1. A system, comprising:
- a user input configured to;
receive a user selection of a heart failure symptom to indicate whether a heart failure symptom is or has been present, wherein the heart failure symptom includes at least one of dyspnea, edema, or weight change; and
receive a user selection of a heart failure (HF) comorbidity to indicate whether an HF comorbidity is or has been present; and
a heart failure (HF) status processor, coupled to the user input, the HF status processor configured to determine a heart failure status using information about the user selection of the heart failure symptom and information received from a physiological patient status parameter detector, the information received from the physiological patient status parameter detector including information about a first physiological patient status parameter and a different second physiological patient status parameter;
wherein the HF status processor configured to determine the heart failure status is further configured to controllably adjust the heart failure status determination, wherein controllably adjusting the heart failure status determination comprises;
adjusting a first weight for the information about the first physiological patient status parameter relative to a second weight for the information about the different second physiological patient status parameter; and
using the information obtained from the first and second physiological patient status parameters in conjunction with the first and second weights.

7. A method, comprising:
-
receiving a heart failure symptom indicator that indicates whether a heart failure symptom is or has been present, wherein the heart failure symptom includes at least one of dyspnea, edema, or weight change; receiving a heart failure (HF) comorbidity indicator that indicates whether an HF comorbidity is or has been present; receiving information about a first physiological patient status parameter; and determining a heart failure status using information about; the heart failure symptom; the HF comorbidity; and the first physiological patient status parameter, wherein the determining the heart failure status includes controllably adjusting the heart failure status determination, the controllably adjusting comprising; adjusting a first weight for the information about the first physiological patient status parameter relative to a second weight for the information about a different second physiological patient status parameter; and using the information obtained from the first and second physiological patient status parameters in conjunction with the first and second weights. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A system, comprising:
-
an assembly configured to; receive a heart failure symptom indicator that indicates whether a heart failure symptom is or has been present, wherein the heart failure symptom includes at least one of dyspnea, edema, or weight change; and receive a heart failure (HF) comorbidity indicator that indicates whether an HF comorbidity is or has been present; and a heart failure (HF) status processor, coupled to the assembly, the HF status processor configured to determine a heart failure status using information about the heart failure symptom indicator and information received from a physiological patient status parameter detector, the information received from the physiological patient status parameter detector including information about a first physiological patient status parameter and a different second physiological patient status parameter; wherein the HF status processor configured to determine the heart failure status is further configured to controllably adjust the heart failure status determination, wherein controllably adjusting the heart failure status determination comprises; adjusting a first weight for the information about the first physiological patient status parameter relative to a second weight for the information about the different second physiological patient status parameter; and using the information obtained from the first and second physiological patient status parameters in conjunction with the first and second weights. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
