Abstract
A method for locating an ischemic region in the heart of a subject includes establishing three dimensional coordinates axes with respect to the torso of the subject as a reference; establishing as a reference a multi-dimensional representation of the heart defining at least three dimensional coordinate axes of the heart, the multi-dimensional representation defining at least the base of the heart and a middle section of the heart to thereby prescribe a surface of the heart on the reference multi-dimensional representation of the heart; and orienting the three dimensional coordinate axes of the heart from an initial position offset with respect to the three dimensional coordinates with respect to the torso of the subject to an imaginary position wherein at least one axis of the heart is parallel to or coincident with at least one of the three dimensional coordinate axes with respect to the torso of the subject. Corresponding displays are disclosed also.
