摘要：An implantable cardiac device is programmed to monitor short term activitychanges that occur while a patient is at rest to produce a sleep disturbance metric that isuseful in analyzing and/or treating sleep apnea. After the implantable cardiac device

confirms that a patient is at rest, the device monitors an instantaneous signal from anactivity sensor to detect variances from normal rest mode activity. When the variancesexceed a preset threshold for a short time period (e.g., less than 30–40 sec.), the patientis presumed to be experiencing a form of sleep disturbance as opposed to conscious orwakeful activity. These short term events are recorded as sleep disturbance events. Thesleep disturbance metric are reported to a physician as a diagnostic to help ascertain theseverity of sleep apnea or to evaluate the effectiveness of pacing therapies being appliedto treat sleep apnea.
