Abstract
A patient monitor for determining a probability that a patient has acute cardiac ischemia including an input device connectable to a patient to acquire electrocardiogram (ECG) signals from the patient, an instrumentation amplifier connected to the input terminal to combine the signals and to generate at least one ECG lead, and an analysis module. The analysis module is operable to continuously read the ECG lead, to analyze a portion of the ECG lead for a period of time, and to calculate a probability that the patient has acute cardiac ischemia based at least in part on the analyzed portion of the ECG lead.
