Abstract:
1. A method for monitoring a heart of a patient, the method comprising: receiving, by a physiological data input interface and from one or more sensors, signals indicative of cardiac activity of the patient during a monitoring period; processing, by a processor, the signals and; providing by the processor, monitoring results in response to a result of the processing; wherein the monitoring results comprise information indicative of: (a) a heart rate of the patient during the monitoring period; (b) at least one first time period in which the heart rate of the patient exceeds a first threshold; and (c) at least one second time period in which the heart rate of the patient exceeds both the first threshold and a second threshold; wherein the providing, by the processor, of the monitoring results comprises: providing a first bradycardia indication if the heart rate of the patient was lower than the first threshold for a first bradycardia indicative duration, and providing a second bradycardia indication if the heart rate of the patient was lower than the second threshold that is lower than the first threshold; wherein the processing, by the processor, further comprises processing the signals to detect heart pauses, wherein the providing of the monitoring results further comprises providing a pause indication, wherein the pause indication that is indicative of at least one heart pause and which is distinct from the first and second bradycardia indications.
