Abstract:
A system for providing diagnosis and monitoring of myocardial ischemia for use in automated patient care, comprising:an implantable medical device recording at least one physiological measure and at least one other physiological measure on a substantially continuous basis; a database storing monitoring sets comprising the at least one recorded physiological measure and the at least one other recorded physiological measure; a comparison module comparing the at least one recorded physiological measure to the at least one other recorded physiological measure on a substantially regular basis to quantify a change in patient pathophysiological status for corresponding patient information; a diagnostic module comparing the change in patient pathophysiological status to an indicated threshold corresponding to a quantifiable physiological measure indicative of myocardial ischemia; and an analysis module evaluating an onset, a progression, a regression, and a status quo of myocardial ischemia dependent upon the comparison of the patient pathophysiological status to the indicator threshold.
