<p>A system and method for detecting a patient's susceptibility to arrhythmias and cardiac tissue abnormality is disclosed. The method consists of using a computer (27), a display (23), software (not shown) loaded into the computer (27) that generates graphical user interfaces (GUI), an electronic interface (18), and a plurality of electrodes (not numbered). The electronics interface (18) is in electronic communication with the computer (27), and further in electronic communication with the electrodes (not numbered) that are placed by self-adhesion at predetermined locations on a test subject (35). According to one aspect of the invention, the method enables a user, typically a medical professional, to initiate, with minimal input, certain diagnostic tests involving observing, analyzing a series of QRS complexes, some of which are biased with a subpacing current, and others of which are unbiased. The signals are then compared, and the differences are analyzed to detect a patient's susceptibility to arrhythmias, and cardiac tissue abnormality.</p> |
