Title:
心臓病リスク評価方法
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006511311
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
A method of data management for assessing a patient's autonomic balance, risk of death, and the patient's response to therapy in terms of these assessments is described. This method describes a process by which a set of "raw variables" (RV) are translated into one or more of a new variable, defined as an Mortality Prediction Index, (MPI) that quantifies the patient's cardiovascular reflex control and risk of death. The translated variables are representative of both central and peripheral chemo receptivity, baroreflexes, and peripheral ergo receptors, which, in turn, provide the measurement of sympathovagal, or autonomic, balance. The process of selection and measurement of the MPI, and thus the sympathetic and parasympathetic components of autonomic balance at rest and during dynamic, isotonic exercise and recovery is described. The invention will further define risk of death using a Kaplan-Meier Plot for certain translated variables. The method will enable physicians to collect, view, track and manage complicated data from multiple sources using simple, well-understood visualization techniques to better understand the consequences of their therapeutic actions.
