MONITORING PROJECTIONS ALONG PRINCIPAL COMPONENTS OF MULTIPLE SENSORS AS AN INDICATOR OF WORSENING HEART FAILURE

摘要

A device can include at least a first physiologic sensor circuit configured to provide a first physiologic signal, a second physiologic sensor circuit configured to provide a second physiologic signal, and a processor circuit. The processor circuit includes a principal component analysis circuit configured to represent data determined from the at least first and second physiologic sensor circuits as at least first and second axes, respectively, in a multidimensional space, determine one or more principal components in the multidimensional space, determine a quantitative attribute of the first and the second physiologic signals using at least one of the determined principal components or a projection of the data along the at least one determined principal component, and provide an indication of heart failure status according to the quantitative attribute to at least one of a user or a process.
