<p>A device for determining the probability of death of a cardiovascular patient includes an electrocardiograph (10) adapted to deliver a signal in the form of an electrical waveform containing information about the condition of the patient's heart; a waveform recognition and measurement device (14) adapted to analyse the waveform and generate output based on the analysis; and a computer (18) adapted to receive the output and calculate a numerical value representing the probability based on the output. Also provided is a method for assessing cardiovascular mortality risk at a health care facility or provider using this device.</p> |
