Method and apparatus for detecting respiratory disturbances

摘要: A system and method for monitoring respiration including sensing a signal that varies with respiration, deriving parameter, applying criteria detecting disturbance determining one or more respiratory metrics. The preferably includes an implantable sensor associated medical device such chronic is possible. may execute methods measuring disturbances store data to be transferred external disturbances. Respiratory detection trigger responsive action as physiological storage, change in therapy delivery, clinician warning. Assessment of cardiac function made based on metrics measure circulatory delay time following disturbance.
