CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a Continuation-In-Part of PCT patent application PCT/IL2005/001233, filed Nov. 22, 2005, which is a Continuation of Ser. No. 10/995,817, filed Nov. 22, 2004 and which claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/843,107, filed Sep. 7, 2006, and is a Continuation-In-Part of PCT patent application PCT/IL2006/000148, filed Feb. 7, 2006, claiming the priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application 60/651,295, filed Feb. 7, 2005. This application is related to three other U.S. patent applications, all filed on even date, which are entitled �Detection of Heart Failure Using a Photoplethysmograph,� �Respiration-Based Prognosis of Heart Disease,� and �Sleep Monitoring Using a Photoplethysmograph.� The disclosure of all of these related applications are incorporated herein by reference.
Photoplethysmograph signals provide information not only on blood oxygenation, but also on other physiological signs. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,588,425 describes the use of a pulse oximeter in validating the heart rate and/or R�R intervals of an ECG, and for discriminating between sleep and wakefulness in a monitored subject. It also describes a method for distinguishing between valid pulse waveforms in the oximeter signal. U.S. Pat. No. 7,001,337 describes a method for obtaining physiological parameter information related to respiration rate, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood volume variability and/or the autonomic nervous system using photoplethysmography. U.S. Pat. No. 7,190,261 describes an arrhythmia alarm processor, which detects short-duration, intermittent oxygen desaturations of a patient using a pulse oximeter as a sign of irregular heartbeat. An alarm is triggered when the pattern of desaturations matches a reference pattern. The disclosures of the above-mentioned patents are incorporated herein by reference.
