  • Cardiac risk stratification
    Patent number: 8380294
    Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for generating a risk stratification indicator based on HRT measurements computed using physiological parameters sensed by an implantable medical device (IMD). In some examples, the HRT measurements may be computed by the IMD based on the physiological parameters. In other examples, the IMD may sense the physiological parameters, and transmit data representative of the parameters to an external computing device, such as an IMD programmer, which then computes the HRT measurements. Exemplary physiological parameters include cardiac signals.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 22, 2010
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
    Assignee: Medtronic, Inc.
