Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 17:
18. An apparatus configured to provide automated cardiac diagnostics, the apparatus comprising:
a housing comprising at least four 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, wherein beat alignment is based on a piecewise resampling of one of 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.
