Abstract
A method and system are provided for trending a coronary burden such as an ischemic burden or acute myocardial infarction (AMI) for a patient. Trending provides obtaining cardiac data over a period of time, identifying the onset and the termination of coronary episodes based on a ST segment variation within the cardiac data, recording coronary burden information, and presenting the coronary burden information to a user. The coronary burden information may include the number of coronary episodes occurring over a period of time, the time duration of the coronary episodes, and the maximum ST segment variations for the coronary episodes that occur over a period of time.
