Abstract

Systems and methods to indicate heart failure co-morbidity are described. In an example, one or more physiological signals can be analyzed for a specified time period to determine at least one of an indication of a heart failure event or a characteristic of heart failure co-morbidity, such as a characteristic of a non-heart failure physiological event. At least one of the different physiological signals can be compared to a specified criterion indicative of the heart failure event to provide a comparison value, where the comparison value is indicative of whether the at least one of the different physiological signals contributed towards the indication of the heart failure event. An indication of a non-heart failure physiological event can be determined using the heart failure event indication, the non-heart failure physiological event characteristic, and the comparison value indicative of whether the one or more physiological signals contributed towards the heart failure event.
