Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

This document discusses, among other things, a system comprising a sensor signal processor configured to receive a plurality of electrical sensor signals produced by a plurality of sensors and at least one sensor signal produced by an implantable sensor, a memory that includes information indicating a co-morbidity of a subject, a sensor signal selection circuit that selects a sensor signal to monitor from among the plurality of sensor signals, according to an indicated co-morbidity, a threshold adjustment circuit that adjusts a detection threshold of the selected sensor signal according to the indicated co-morbidity, and a decision circuit that applies the adjusted detection threshold to the selected sensor signal to determine whether an event associated with worsening heart failure (HF) occurred in the subject and outputs an indication of whether the event associated with worsening HF occurred to a user or process.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus comprising: a port configured to receive co-morbidity information of a subject; a sensor signal selection circuit configured to select, according to the co-morbidity information, one or more physiological sensor signals selectable from among a plurality of physiologic sensor signals for monitoring using an implantable medical device; a threshold adjustment circuit configured to adjust detection thresholds of the one or more selected physiolo…
