ABSTRACT:
An implantable electronic circuit for monitoring a patient's aerobic capacity includes an accelerometer for detecting the onset and termination of a period of exercise and a means for measuring the patient's minute volume. By computing the time interval from the cessation of exercise to the point where the patient's minute volume reaches a predetermined value at or near an at-rest value thereof, a measure of aerobic capacity relating to a patient's physical fitness can be determined.
