Abstract
A method of determining health and mortality includes obtaining a ventricular activation (RR) time series from a subject for multiple temporal intervals. The method also includes calculating a cardiac entropy in the RR time series over the temporal intervals using coefficient of sample entropy (COSEn). Additionally, the method includes comparing the cardiac entropy between the intervals to determine health and mortality. The absolute and relative changes in entropy over a patient's follow up period provide dynamic information regarding health and mortality risk. The determination of health and mortality can then be used to create a treatment plan for the subject.
