Abstract
Systems and methods for monitoring patients for risk of worsening heart failure (WHF) are discussed. A patient management system includes a sensor circuit to receive respiration measurements, and an input device to receive patient dyspnea descriptor indicating dyspnea symptom severity. The system includes a risk analyzer circuit to trend the respiration measurement over time, and to generate a WHF risk indicator using both the trended respiration measurement and the received dyspnea descriptor. A control circuit controls the receiver circuit to receive the dyspnea descriptor in response to the trended respiration measurement satisfying a specific condition. The system can present the WHF risk indicator to a user or a process, or deliver or adjust a HF therapy based on the WHF risk indicator.
