Transient sensor response to posture as a measure of patient status
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a first sensor configured to detect a change in posture status;
a second sensor configured to sense a transient response signal of a physiological parameter during the change in posture status;
a processor circuit, configured to generate a cardiac status based on the transient response signal of the physiological parameter, the transient response signal occurring during the change in posture status; and
a monitoring circuit configured to provide an indication of the cardiac status.

Abstract
Patient posture information can be received, such as to indicate a change in patient posture by at least a threshold amount. A transient response signal indicative of a change in a physiological parameter can be received at multiple instances near a change in patient posture. Waveform morphology features can be extracted from a transient response signal and used to provide an indication of a cardiac status, such as a heart failure status.
