ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are provided for monitoring a cardiac condition of a patient. The system includes a sensor for receiving a patient's heart rate and a processor that is programmable to set a patient's safe heart rate zone. The processor is also configured to determine whether the patient's heart rate has exceeded the safe heart rate zone. In response to determining that the patient's heart rate has exceeded the safe heart rate zone, the processor may reprogram a new safe heart rate zone.
