Abstract
A method and system are presented for use in determining a patient's heart condition. First and second data are provided, where the first data is indicative of the patient's heart rate, and the second data is indicative of bioimpedance peak value during a cardiac cycle. A relation between a certain predetermined value and a product of the first and said second data is determined, where such relation is indicative of the patient's left ventricular condition, enabling to identify a left ventricular dysfunction.
Claims23
A method for use in determining a patient's heart condition, the method comprising:
- providing first data indicative of the patient's heart rate;
- providing second data indicative of bioimpedance peak value during a cardiac cycle;
- determining a relation between a product of said first and said second data and a certain predetermined value, said relation being indicative of the patient's left ventricular condition enabling to identify left ventricular dysfunction.
A system for use in determining a patient's heart condition, the system comprising:
- a data input utility for receiving first data indicative of the patient's heart rate and receiving second data indicative of bioimpedance variations during a cardiac cycle;
- a data processing and analyzing utility configured for determining a product of said first and said second data, determining a relation between said product and a certain predetermined value, and based on said relation generating data indicative of the patient's left ventricular condition;
- and
- a data output utility for exposing to user data indicative of the patient's left ventricular condition.
