Abstract:
1. A method of monitoring myocardial stability comprising: determining a window length representing an acceptable maximum time period corresponding to a single common actual event of myocardial instability between potential start times associated with at least two physiologic indices representative of myocardial stability; monitoring multiple physiologic indices using sensors, the physiologic indices being representative of myocardial stability, wherein predetermined variations in each of the physiologic indices denote the potential start times and potential end times for candidate events indicative of myocardial instability; identifying the potential start times associated with at least two of the monitored physiologic indices; and declaring at least one of the candidate events to be an actual event of myocardial instability based on the window length and a time period between the potential start times identified by the identifying operation.
