Markov chain for heart failure diagnostic decision model with irregular Thoracic Fluid Content measurements

Abstract

Properties of results obtained on Markov processes analysis in medical applications have been illustrated. Calculation was done for measurement of Thoracic Fluid Content by means of impedance cardiograph for chosen medical patients population. Main medical aspect of Markov chain calculation has been underlined to exhibit some constraints in decision making with such math models. Markov chain analysis was done as optimization task. Effective algorithm for irregular data in continuous time has been proposed.
