Abstract:
1. A system for use with a physiologic pressure sensor, the system comprising: a processor comprising: wherein the processor is configured to generate a pressure baseline using the information indicative of the bodily pressure received from the physiologic pressure sensor; wherein the processor is configured to generate a pulmonary fluid level baseline using the impedance information indicative of the pulmonary fluid level; wherein the processor is configured to identify a critical pressure (P wherein the processor is configured to compute a critical time (Tc) using the information indicative of the bodily pressure received from the physiologic pressure sensor and the received impedance information indicative of the pulmonary fluid level, wherein the critical time (Tc) defines a duration beginning when the information indicative of the bodily pressure deviates from the pressure baseline and ending when the pressure reaches the critical pressure (Pc).
