Claim 19:
20. An apparatus configured to provide automated cardiac diagnostics, the apparatus comprising:
a housing comprising at least two chest electrodes and three non-chest electrodes connected to a processor within the housing;
wherein the processor is configured to:
acquire a first set of at least three orthogonal leads from a patient's chest and hands at a first time;
acquire a second set of at least three orthogonal leads from the patient's chest and hands a second time;
perform a beat alignment on the first and second sets of at least three orthogonal leads to synchronize representative beats from the first and second sets of at least three orthogonal leads;
calculate a difference signal representing the change between the first and second at least three orthogonal leads;
detect a cardiac condition by one or both of: comparing parameters of the first and second at least three orthogonal leads to one or more predefined thresholds or by comparing parameters of the difference signal to a predefined threshold; and
communicate the cardiac condition to the patient.
