Cardiac Risk Assessment

In a system for assessing cardiac risk of a patient, a measuring component measures a cardiac signal comprised of multiple cardiac cycles at multiple periods in time. A processing component calculates sensitivity of cardiac function to sympathetic drive at each of the periods in time from the measur...

Zusammenfassung:In a system for assessing cardiac risk of a patient, a measuring component measures a cardiac signal comprised of multiple cardiac cycles at multiple periods in time. A processing component calculates sensitivity of cardiac function to sympathetic drive at each of the periods in time from the measured cardiac signal. A risk identification component evaluates a trend of the sensitivity over time as an indicator of a degree of cardiac risk.
