  • Heart failure patient management using an implantable monitoring system
    Patent number: 8777850
    Abstract: An implantable medical device system and method provide physiological variable monitoring for use in patient management. A target value for a physiological variable and formulations for computing metrics of the physiological variable are stored. Values of the physiological variable are determined from a sensed physiological signal and are used to compute a selected metric. The metric is compared to the stored target value.
    Type: Grant
