determining, by a therapy response prediction system, a variability of a plurality of measurements of a cardiovascular parameter of a patient suffering from hypertension, the plurality of measurements recorded one at a time over a predetermined time period; comparing, by the therapy response prediction system, the determined variability with a predetermined reference value; designating, by the therapy response prediction system if the comparing indicates that the determined variability is less than the predetermined reference value, the patient to be within a first class of patients, the first class of patients representative of patients that are likely to be responsive to subcutaneous neuromodulation therapy as a treatment for hypertension; and designating, by the therapy response prediction system if the comparing indicates that the determined variability is greater than the predetermined reference value, the patient to be within a second class of patients, the second class of patients representative of patients that are likely to be unresponsive to subcutaneous neuromodulation therapy as a treatment for hypertension. |
