Abstract:
A physiologic monitoring system and corresponding methods provide rapid and detailed analysis of data for one or more physiologic parameters to achieve a quick and accurate medical diagnosis. An ambulatory physiological monitoring unit acquires physiologic data, automatically analyzes it to detect an event, and transmits information regarding the event and physiologic data associated with the event across a communications network to a monitoring center, where the event information is analyzed and triaged. The monitoring center can also perform a retrospective analysis based on the physiological data associated with the event to provide an in-depth analysis of the detected event and an accurate diagnosis. The monitoring center can also request additional or different physiological data to refine the analysis. As a result, the physiological monitoring system and corresponding methods can ensure that timely and appropriate intervention is taken to reduce a patient's discomfort, pain, injury, or risk of death.

Abstract:
A system for monitoring a heart of a patient, the system includes: (i) a physiological data input interface, operative for receiving signals indicative of cardiac activity of the patient; (ii) a processor configured to process the signals to provide monitoring results; and (iii) an output interface operative to provide the monitoring results; wherein the monitoring results include information indicative of: (a) a heart rate of the patient during a monitoring period; (b) at least one first time period in which the heart rate of the patient exceeded a first threshold; and (c) at least one second time period in which the heart rate of the patient exceeded both the first threshold and a second threshold.
