Key result
The Physiological Diagnostic algorithm predicted 34% of heart failure events within a month, with a false positive rate of 2.4 alerts per patient-year.
Why the study?
Does the Physiological Diagnostic feature combining minute ventilation and physical activity sensors predict heart failure events in patients with CRT-D devices?

The Physiological Diagnostic algorithm in CRT-D devices predicted 34% of heart failure events within a month, with a false positive rate of 2.4 alerts per patient-year.
Auricchio et al. (2014) conducted an observational in heart failure (n=521). Physiological Diagnostic algorithm (combined minute ventilation and patient activity sensors) was evaluated on Sensitivity and false positive rate of the Physiological Diagnostic algorithm to predict heart failure events within the following month. The Physiological Diagnostic algorithm predicted 34% of heart failure events within a month, with a false positive rate of 2.4 alerts per patient-year.
