ABSTRACT:
Methods and systems for monitoring heart rate recovery are described. In one embodiment, an implantable monitoring device monitors a patient's heart activity. The monitor looks for periods of increased activity, such as those that are experienced during some level of exercise, and periods of lesser activity (such as rest) directly following. The patient's heart rate recovery is monitored as the heart recovers from the active period to the rest period. Data associated with the patient's heart rate recovery can then be diagnostically used to ascertain certain conditions associated with the patient.
