摘要

ECG Analysis for Diagnosis of Heart Failure and Cardiovascular Disease Using Signals Obtained from an implantable monitor 5 The disclosure relates to an implantable device (1) for monitoring of a patient’s electrocardiogram (ECG), the device (1) comprising a detection element (2) for determining electrocardiogram signals (S) of a heart (H) of the patient, which signals (S) are indicative of the electrocardiogram (ECG) of the patient, wherein the implantable device (1) comprises a processing unit (3) that is configured to determine from said signals 10 (S) at least one parameter of the electrocardiogram (ECG), wherein said at least one parameter is an R:S ratio (: ) defined as the ratio between the absolute value ( B JKLM B) of the R complex and the absolute value ( BJKLM B) of the S complex.
