ABSTRACT:
An implantable medical device (IMD) includes a sensor for monitoring parameters indicative of sleep disordered breathing. The IMD also includes a position sensor that indicates the relative position and/or activity level of the patient. The position sensor data is used in one or more ways in conjunction with the SDB sensing. The position data is used to confirm that such sensed data is likely indicative of SDB or to select the appropriate criteria for comparison.
