Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: a port configured to receive co-morbidity information of a subject; a sensor signal selection circuit configured to select, according to the co-morbidity information, one or more physiological sensor signals selectable from among a plurality of physiologic sensor signals for monitoring using an implantable medical device; a threshold adjustment circuit configured to adjust detection thresholds of the one or more selected physiologic sensor signals according to the co-morbidity information, wherein the threshold adjustment circuit includes a weighting circuit configured to change a weighting that a selected physiologic sensor signal is accorded in a heart failure (HF) event determination based on the co-morbidity information; and a communication circuit configured to communicate information with the implantable medical device, including an indication of the one or more selected physiologic sensor signals to monitor and an indication of the adjusted detection thresholds to the implantable medical device.
