Claim Text:
1. A method for quantifying the risk of serious arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, or other modes of death and all-cause mortality events in mammals, comprising: obtaining ECG data, the ECG data comprising at least one heart beat cycle; processing the ECG data to detect patterns that predict a risk of sudden cardiac death, other modes of death, and all-cause mortality, the processing being performed without the use of data from other measuring devices or invasive procedures, the ECG data including at least 12 dimensional dynamical phase space densities, the processing including using a time interval to quantify the risk of sudden cardiac death, other modes of death, and all-cause mortality; and creating a 3-D phase space plot from processed ECG data, the 3-D phase space plot visualization providing a visual indication of regions of a heart that include abnormal heart tissue, wherein the at least one heart beat cycle corresponds to a vector sum electrical activation pathway through the heart, and wherein the vector sum electrical activation pathway is used with time information associated with the at least 12 dimensional dynamical space density to determine the risk of sudden cardiac death, other modes of death and all-cause mortality.
