Abstract

A method for generating a cardiac electrical instability assessment is disclosed herein. The method includes obtaining a short duration T-wave alternans (SDTWA) measurement, obtaining a long duration T-wave alternans (LDTWA) measurement, and obtaining a cardiac electrical instability assessment based on both the SDTWA measurement and the LDTWA measurement.
