Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 20:
21. 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;
calculate an angular change between the first set of at least three orthogonal leads and the second set of at least three orthogonal leads and alert the patient to reposition the housing based on the angular change greater than a threshold;
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.
