ABSTRACT:
The pulse of a patient suffering from an obstructive lung ailment or problem such as emphysema, bronchiectasis, chronic bronchitis, asthma or the like may be monitored so as to obtain a signal varying in accordance with the peak values of successive pulse beats. The signal so obtained is used to provide an output to the patient which is capable of being sensed by the patient and which corresponds to the differences in the peak values of successive pulse beats. This output is used by the person in learning to control the operation of his or her heart in order to reduce the work of breathing and to avoid potential eventual heart failure when the individual encounters breathing problems.
