Abstract
This document discusses, among other things, cardiac rhythm management systems, devices, and methods providing an exercise test interface. A patient exercise episode is identified using at least one predetermined criteria. Data associated with the episode is obtained. A summary of the episode is displayed for a user. The displayed summary includes at least one prognostic indicator obtained from the data associated with the episode. Examples of prognostic indicators include, among other things, ectopic beats, runs of ectopic beats, rate of decrease of heart rate during a post-exercise recovery portion of the episode, a maximum attained heart rate for comparison to a maximum age-predicted heart rate, as well as other prognostic indicators.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- applying at least one predetermined criteria to physiological patient data;
- automatically identifying a patient exercise episode using the at least one predetermined criteria applied to the physiological patient data, wherein the patient exercise episode includes an exercise period followed by a post-exercise recovery period;
- obtaining heart contraction indicative data associated with the patient exercise episode;
- identifying ectopic beats occurring during the post-exercise recovery period;
- obtaining recovery ectopic beat data from the identified ectopic beats of the post-exercise recovery period;
- and
- displaying a summary of the patient exercise episode, including displaying at least one prognostic indicator using or obtained from the recovery ectopic beat data associated with the post-exercise recovery period, the at least one prognostic indicator including a displayed computed number of ectopic beats occurring during the post-exercise recovery period of the patient exercise episode.
A non-transitory computer readable medium including instructions for:
- applying at least one predetermined criteria to physiological patient data;
- automatically identifying a patient exercise episode using the at least one predetermined criteria applied to the physiological patient data, wherein the patient exercise episode includes an exercise period followed by a post-exercise recovery period;
- obtaining heart contraction indicative data associated with the patient exercise episode;
- identifying ectopic beats occurring during the post-exercise recovery period;
- obtaining recovery ectopic beat data from the identified ectopic beats of the post-exercise recovery period;
- and
- displaying a summary of the patient exercise episode, including displaying at least one prognostic indicator using or obtained from the recovery ectopic beat data associated with the post-exercise recovery period, the at least one prognostic indicator including a displayed computed number of ectopic beats occurring during the post-exercise recovery period of the patient exercise episode.
