System for cardiac condition detection responsive to blood pressure analysis
First Claim
1. A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection, comprising:
- a repository of data comprising,first statistical distribution data representing a first statistical distribution of values of a first patient parameter over a first time period and acquired on a first occasion andsecond statistical distribution data representing a second statistical distribution of values of said first patient parameter over a second time period and acquired on a second occasion subsequent to said first occasion;
a data processor configured to;
calculate a first mean of the first statistical distribution data;
calculate a second mean of the second statistical distribution data;
calculate an overlap indicator indicating degree of overlap of said first statistical distribution data and said second statistical distribution data only in a predetermined interval of the data distributed substantially between the first mean of the first statistical distribution data and the second mean of the second statistical distribution data;
use predetermined mapping information, associating ranges of said overlap indicator with corresponding medical conditions;
compare said overlap indicator or values derived from said overlap indicator, with said ranges; and
generate an alert message indicating a potential medical condition; and
an output processor configured to provide the calculated overlap indicator to a destination device.

Abstract
A system provides cardiac arrhythmia detection and performs blood pressure analysis of multiple catheter channels of blood pressure signals to characterize heart hemodynamic activity. A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection includes a repository, data processor and output processor. The repository of data comprises, first distribution data representing a probability distribution of a first patient parameter over a first time period and acquired on a first occasion and second distribution data representing a probability distribution of the first patient parameter over a second time period and acquired on a second occasion subsequent to the first occasion. The data processor calculates an overlap indicator indicating degree of overlap of the first distribution data and the second distribution data in a predetermined interval of the distributions. The output processor provides the calculated overlap indicator to a destination device.

17. A system for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection, comprising:
-
a repository of data comprising, first statistical distribution data representing a first statistical distribution of values of a first patient parameter over a first time period and acquired on a first occasion and second statistical distribution data representing a second statistical distribution of values of said first patient parameter over a second time period and acquired on a second occasion subsequent to said first occasion; a data processor configured to; calculate a first mean of the first statistical distribution data; calculate a second mean of the second statistical distribution data; calculate an overlap indicator indicating degree of overlap of said first statistical distribution data and said second statistical distribution data only in a predetermined interval of the data distributed substantially between the first mean of the first statistical distribution data and the second mean of the second statistical distribution data by determining an area under said first statistical distribution and said second statistical distribution in said predetermined interval; use predetermined mapping information, associating ranges of said overlap indicator with corresponding medical conditions; compare said overlap indicator or values derived from said overlap indicator, with said ranges; and generate an alert message indicating a potential medical condition; and an output processor configured to provide the calculated overlap indicator to a destination device.

18. A method employing at least one processing device for heart performance characterization and abnormality detection, comprising the activities of:
-
storing data in at least one repository comprising, first statistical distribution data representing a first statistical distribution of values of a first patient parameter over a first time period and acquired on a first occasion and second statistical distribution data representing a second statistical distribution of values of said first patient parameter over a second time period and acquired on a second occasion subsequent to said first occasion; calculating a first mean of the first statistical distribution data; calculating a second mean of the second statistical distribution data; calculating an overlap indicator indicating degree of overlap of said first statistical distribution data and said statistical second distribution data only in a predetermined interval of the data distributed substantially between the first mean of the first statistical distribution data and the second mean of the second statistical distribution data; using predetermined mapping information, associating ranges of said overlap indicator with corresponding medical conditions; comparing said overlap indicator or values derived from said overlap indicator, with said ranges; and generating an alert message indicating a potential medical condition; and providing the calculated overlap indicator to a destination device.
