Patent ID: 8521267

Claim:
A method for trending ischemia burden for a patient, comprising: obtaining cardiac data over a period of time; collecting reference ST segments from the cardiac data; identifying onset and termination of multiple ischemia episodes based on ST segment variation between the reference ST segments and a measured ST segment within the cardiac data; analyzing the cardiac data associated with the multiple ischemia episodes to calculate ischemia burden information over the period of time, the ischemia burden information including at least one of: i) a count of the ischemia episodes over the period of time; ii) time durations of the ischemia episodes; and iii) a maximum ST segment variation for each of the multiple ischemia episodes over the period of time; recording the ischemia burden information; and presenting the ischemia burden information related to the multiple ischemia episodes as a multi-episode trend over the period of time.
