  • Patent number: 10610167
    Abstract: An apparatus for assessing patient breathing and cardiovascular condition of a patient includes a storage medium for storing data regarding the breathing and cardiovascular condition of the patient, a processor in communication with the storage medium, the processor being configured to prompt the patient with a series of queries relating to patient breathing and cardiovascular condition, a display for presenting the patient with the series of queries and a date entry device for receiving responses to the series of queries. The processor is configured to tally positive responses to the series of queries to generate a sleep disordered breathing index.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 15, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 7, 2020
    Assignee: ResMed Pty Ltd
    Inventors: Michael Farrell, Malcolm Ronald Hebblewhite, Deirdre Stewart, Ann Tisthammer, Maya Vance, Robin Randolph

  • Patent number: 8517014
    Abstract: A method for relating to each other cardiovascular and sleep disordered breathing conditions of a patient. The patient's heart rate and/or detailed echocardiogram data is monitored and recorded continuously or periodically together with sleep disordered breathing information on similar time scales. Changes in the patient's heart rate associated with changes in sleep disordered breathing can then be observed. More specifically, positive airway pressure at therapeutic levels for treatment of sleep disordered breathing is applied while events associated with the treatment of the patient's sleep disordered breathing are detected and recorded. At the same time, information concerning the cardiovascular condition of the patient is stored and the stored information concerning the cardiovascular condition of the patient and the recorded events associated with the treatment of the patient's sleep disordered breathing are related to each other.
