摘要:
This invention provides methods for non-invasively monitoring patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and for reporting and/or warning of changes in the patients status. The methods gather physiological data and combine the data into parameters by which the severity of CHF can be judged. Preferred parameters include periodic breathing and heart rate variability. This invention also provides systems for carrying out these methods which permit patients to engage in their normal daily activities. Preferably, physiological data analysis is performed by a portable electronic unit carried by the patients.
