System and method of monitoring physiological signals

摘要

A physiological signal monitoring and analysis system including an implantable medical device and a signal processor. The implantable medical device is configured to monitor and record sample segments of at least one physiological signal of a patient at time separated recording intervals over a time period. The signal processor configured to measure values of at least one selected characteristic of the at least one physiological signal from the recorded sample segments, to determine trend information representing a trend in the at least one selected characteristic based on the measured values, and to assess a risk of a physiological event to the patient based on the trend information.
