Worsening heart failure detection based on patient demographic clusters

Abstract

Systems and methods for monitoring patients for risk of worsening heart failure (WHF) are discussed. A patient management system includes a receiver circuit to receive a heart failure phenotype of the patient including patient demographic information, The system may include a classifier circuit to classify the patient into one of a plurality of phenotypes based on the received heart failure phenotype. The plurality of phenotypes are each represented by multi-dimensional categorized demographics. A detector circuit may detect a WHF event from a physiologic signal using the classified phenotype. The system may include a therapy circuit to deliver or adjust a heart failure therapy in response to the detected WHF event.
