This invention provides methods for non-invasively monitoring patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) and for reporting and/or warning of changes in the patients' status. The methods gather physiological data and combine the data into parameters by which the severity of CHF can be judged. Preferred parameters include periodic breathing and heart rate variability. This invention also provides systems for carrying out these methods which permit patients to engage in their normal daily activities. Preferably, physiological data analysis is performed by a portable electronic unit carried by the patients.

La présente invention concerne des méthodes pour effectuer une surveillance non invasive de patients en insuffisance cardiaque congestive (ICC) et pour rapporter et/ou prévenir des changements de l'état de patients. Les méthodes rassemblent des données physiologiques et combinent lesdites données à des paramètres grâce auxquels la sévérité de l'ICC peut être jugée. Des paramètres préférés incluent une respiration de Cheyne-Stokes et une variabilité d'un rythme cardiaque. La présente invention concerne aussi des systèmes pour appliquer ces méthodes afin de permettre aux patients de prendre part à leurs activités quotidiennes normales. L'analyse des données physiologiques est réalisée de préférence par une unité électronique portative portée par les patients.
