Abstract
An implantable device assists in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia of a human heart and includes a plurality of electrodes and a like plurality of sense amplifiers for generating an electrogram for each of the electrodes. A digital to analog converter reads the voltage magnitudes of the electrogram ST segments which are then stored in a memory. An implantable receiver/transmitter is arranged to transmit the magnitudes of the electrogram ST segments to a nonimplanted external receiver.
