Abstract
In a method to predict the diastolic rest period in the cardiac cycle of a patient under examination, the linear relation between heart rate and position of the diastolic rest period in the cardiac cycle is determined by determining the position of the diastolic rest period in at least two different heart rates of the examined patient, determining the breathing motion using rate and/or acceleration sensors and predicting the next diastolic rest period under consideration of the breathing motion and the definite relation between the heart rate and the position of the diastolic rest period of the patient under examination.
Claims15
A computerized method for predicting a diastolic rest period in a cardiac cycle of a subject, comprising the steps of:
- automatically electronically determining a linear relation between the heart rate of the subject and a position of a diastolic rest period in a cardiac cycle of the subject, by determining the diastolic rest period for at least two different heart rates of the subject;
- obtaining a representation of breathing motion of the subject and automatically electronically determining the breathing motion therefrom;
- and
- automatically electronically predicting a next diastolic rest period using said breathing motion and said linear relation between heart rate and position of the diastolic rest period for the subject.
