Method and apparatus to provide diagnostic index and therapy regulated by subject's autonomic nervous system
摘要:
A system and method are provided for determining an index of autonomic nervous system (ANS) or sympathetic nervous system (SNS) activity for use in patient monitoring or therapy delivery control. An ANS or SNS index is calculated as a function of multiple monitored physiological variables that strongly correlate to changes in autonomic or sympathetic tone. These ANS-influenced variables are derived from selected hemodynamic and/or electrical signals and may include variables relating to any of: the maximum rate of pressure rise (dP/dtmax), the maximum rate of pressure decline (dP/dtmin), pulse pressure (PP), pre-ejection time interval (PEI) and/or systolic time interval (STI), heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and baro-reflex gain. Changes in the ANS or SNS index may be used to automatically adjust a device delivered therapy.
