PATIENTS CONCERNS
Patients’ concerns
• I am so exhausted lately
• I am often stressed and irritable
• I want to run a marathon
• I don‘t sleep so well
• My Dad died of a sudden heart attack
• I want to get fit
• I do train and engage in sports but always feel exhausted
• I cannot get any inner peace
• I am often very tired and fall asleep already in the mornings
• I excercise a lot, is that good for my heart?

Health Management with LIFEPATCH® Fitness?
• A measuring and monitoring tool to identify your internal body balance• It establishes the state of balance of the ANS (autonomic nervous system)• Determines through indicators the quality of sleep and measures over time
the improvement (deterioration) of health status• Identifies cardiological risk factors such as atrial fibrillation and other heart
problems
LIFEPATCH® can answer such concerns
• LIFEPATCH® will test if your body system is balanced• With LIFEPATCH®, we can detect if the heart is fit or if referral to a cardiologist
is necessary and cardiological advice is appropiate to strengthen your heart• LIFEPATCH® determines your heart and body fitness and we can develop a
progamme to manage your future health • LIFEPATCH® tells us how you sleep and if your recovery periods during deep
sleep phases are sufficient• With LIFEPATCH® we can monitor your health better and identify stress factors,
mental as well as physical load during your work day
HRV is an important indicator for fitness
• The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) and the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) influence the heart rate
• A functioning ANS, the rhythm of beats will change continuously • Heart rate validity (HRV) can be measured with a surface ECG• HRV is the distance between two heart beats measured in the ECG • HRV is a very good and early indicator to detect changes in the ANS• HRV can be used to monitor and control therapy outcomes• HRV enables early / in time detection of negative factors within the body’s system• Recognition of cardiological relevant factors (obtaining advice from / referring to
a cardiologist) is a positive result measuring the HRV with a LIFEPATCH® ECG• HRV – variation in the time interval between heart beats• How the heart reacts to various influences ?• What is the HRV significance• What is the HRV significance

• Establish and maintain a stable state of the system • Compensate for disturbances which might affect the process
To illustrate the universal principle of a control circuit, an example from everyday life was shown here: driving a car. The driver pressed the accelerator pedal, which determines the amount of fuel to the engine. Depending on the amount of fuel flowing into the pistons a certain torque is achieved, which ultimately causes an acceleration or deceleration of the vehicle. The driver can read off the current speed on the speedometer and adjusts the accelerator pedal position (i.e., the amount of the fuel) according to achieve and maintain the desired speed.
In highway cruising, the driver can delegate this cruise control to the on-board computer. The driver sets the desired target speed and the onboard computer tries to minimize the difference between desired and actual speed through appropriate accelerator pedal position. Certain external influences, such as a climb of the road, shall be compensated automatically. The driver is relieved thereby and can draw his attention to more complex problems, such as e.g. the assessment of the weather conditions and the adjustment of the speed.
A loop is used to establish and maintain a specific state. A key factor that distinguishes a loop from a simple control is the feedback branch. For a stable control loop must this feedback against work place value.

VALIDITY OF MEASURMENT
The reading should preferrably be in a rangein excess of 80 to 90%.
If below the above threshold the measurement should be repeated.
Validity defines the quality of the measurement expressed as the percentage of how many Sinus–Rythms were recognised and can be included in the analysis.
The quality depends on the good fit of the sensor and the electrodes on the clean (hairless) skin of the patient. However, some deterioration in the measurement can never be excluded as it may be influenced when excercising etc.

Regression is a non-linear parameter gained preferrably on a 24 hour measurement. Methodically all stable rMSSD/HR pairs of a 24 hour. Reading are collected and statistically calculated. The mean change of the variability relative to the respective heart is considered using the linear regression. This indicator is individually very stable and thus serves to establish the degree of heart fitness.
> 100 indicates good body fitness. 40 – 70 are low body fitness and below 40 bad fitness and potential neuropathy.
> 100 maintain fitness levels.
> 40 – 70 < mobilise patient unless there are other medical conditions.
< 40 mobilise patient under therapeutic supervision.
Elasticity (Regression) The strength of relative changes in the heart frequency is dependent on the actual heart frequency. Higher heart frequencies favor the sympaticus and the sympathic nervous system minimises rapid changes in the heart frequency.
When rapid frequency changes occur the faster sympathetic nervous system is dominant.

AUTONOMOCE
Values around 100% indicate an average (normal) autonomic regulation. Thus half of the relevant peer group has either a higher or lower value.
Higher than 100% indicates a better condition of the patient whereas a lower one indicates the reverse. CAR does consider age and gender however any deviation of the above mean may be due to other influencing factors.
Lower day / night rythms are suspect to Neuropathy or Diabetes Mellitus.
Higher values indicate a sensitivity for catecholaminen (Adrenalin, Cortisol); or a potential deterioration of adrenal gland functions.
In case of a lower than the mean (100) measurement an appropiate and patient specific fitness programme should be developed and monitored with quarterly measurements.
Further analysis and consultation with a specialist such as Endocrinologist is indicated.
During the day the heart rate is influenced by different and conciously controlled processes. During the sleep phase a conscious control is not possible and thus the heart beat is controlled autonmocially. To evaluate the autonomic regulation only the sleep periods are considered. Based on empirical data the important and traditional HRV parameters and their distribution is considered.
CAR is calculated for each of the individual HRV parameters over the respective sleep period. The results are then compared and expressed in percent as to how they deviate from the control group. The data is derived from more than 15.000 records of pathologically neutral persons in the age of 20 to 60 years. Aside from the age the relevant control group is drawn on basis of gender, weight and an activity protocoll is available. Exceptions are made when weight exceeds 90 Kg and the length of the sleeping period is less than 5 hours.
In stressful situations Adrenalin enters the blood stream and causes the heart beat to increase. The hormonal influences are determing factors for the development of illness of the weakening of the heart.
Circadiane rhythmic is determined in the chronobiologie when an accumulation of the endogenous (internal) rhythms are experienced over an approximately 24 hours period. The more familiar of these circadiane rhythms is the sleep / wake rhythm. The circadiane rhythm is also referred to as the “internal clock”.
In healthy individuals we note a a stable distribution independent of gender or age.

CO2 SLEEP PATTERN
The body experiences the CO2 regulation as an emergency reaction and reducing the deep sleep phases, even in some cases waking up (Arousal). CO2 regulation indicates what percentage of the sleep phase ANS was with the CO2 regulation. Up to 15 % do not influence the deep sleep phase negatively. Approaching > 30% indicates a reduced deep sleep phase. In cases of delayed REM phases a particularily strong CO2 regulation will occur shortly after falling asleep.
Such cases should, if they present similar picture when a second and third measurement is taken over time, be presented to a sleep lab.
The ANS plays a part in regulating the acid / base balance of the blood. Chemoreceptors recognise increased acidity and the ANS reacts with stimulating deep breathing to exhale CO2 and re-establish the chemical balance in the blood.
A similar reaction is experienced in oxygen deprevation.
As this regulatory process has a time constant of approximately 20-30 seconds and thus influences the heart frequency.
CO2 homeostasis is maintained through automatic regulation. With a rise in CO2 blood levels, the patients is aroused from the deep sleep phase to breathe and increases their tidal volume.

If the value is positive the sleep cycle is at the beginning of the night. If the value is negative the sleep cycle is at the end of the night.
A desireable reading should be around 15%. If the value is below 15% then additional recordings are recommended.
If, while observing percentage changes, it does not improve a sleep lab should be consulted.
During a deep sleep phase the ANS syncronises the heart beats to conserve energy and thus optimises the exchange of oxygen / CO2.

ATRIAL
Patient has the risk of atrial fibrillation and may experience subsequent complications.
If present and after elimination of non-pathological causes it is recommended that a cardiologist is consulted.
Athletes can present partially chaotic rhythms which can be mistakenly identified as atrial fibrillation and repeated measurements are advised >1%.
Indicates what percentage of the measurment showed an irregular heart rythm, which in most cases may be due to atrial fibrillation.
In cases where the relaxed patient is an athlete the situation is not pathological.
In any event the quality of the recording (validity) should be looked at and if below 90% another measurment is indicated.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF Burden)
Definition Meaning Action
> 400 ms < 440 ms raised QTc continue to monitor, monthly recordings are recommended if persitent consult internist.
> 440 ms pathologic – consult an cardiologist.
> 500 ms life threatening danger! Immidiatly consult a cardiologist or physician.
< 400 ms no problem. > 400 ms < 440 ms raised QTc. > 440 ms pathologic. > 500 ms life threatening danger!
The contraction of the heart is initated by an electrical stimulus. Before another contraction can occur the electric impulses have to leave the cells.
The time in which this repolarisation occurs is named the QT-interval
Repolarisation is dependent on the heart frequency and a corrective value becomes the QTc time.
Too long QTc time indicates a potential problem providing the wrong stimulus for the metabolism.
Pathologically long QTc times are a signal for electrical instability (lack of electrolytes) and weak pump action of the heart muscle.
Should review sleep wake periods.

STANDARD DEVIATION
Value of < 50 ms signals a lowered LVEF and consultation with a cardiologist is recommended.
50-100 ms repeat measurement within two weeks.
An individual beat to beat interval (distance between two consecutive R-peaks of normal beats in sinusrhythm) is measured at RR-Distance in milliseconds (ms). The HRV analysis examines all RR intervals in nonsequencial (chaotic) secquence to establish their deviation.
The following factors can influenece the SDNN:
Body position, activity, age, gender and fitness level.

Skin Preparation
Storing / disposal of electrodes
Sensor Hygiene and Maintenance
• A hairy chest (men) should be shaven where the patch is to be positioned• Prior to positioning the patch – clean the skin• Make sure skin is free of any creams or lotions prior to attaching electrode
• After use and data transfer of the file the sensor is to be cleaned with surgical wet wipes (70% alkohol)• Do not use any other solvents or cleaning liquids as they may damage the sensor• Do not sterilise or clean under running water!• Check if the sensor is fully charged (lights on steady), otherwise charge the sensor with the charger or through a USB connection on your laptop or computer. • If the sensor has not been used for a week, it does require a top up charge• Sensors, USB cable and charger should not be stored in the sun
• Electrodes should not be exposed to extreme temperature – store at room temperature• Do not expose to direct sun light as otherwise the adhesive will deteriorate• If the electrodes are in their sealed orginal packaging and were exposed to temeratures in excess of 35˚ Celsius – cool them in the fridge for an hour• Electrodes are disposal products and should be disposed as class A waste
