ABSTRACT:
A device for determining the probability of death in cardiovascular patients including an electrocardiograph adapted to deliver a signal in the form of an electrical waveform containing information about the condition of the patient's heart; a waveform recognition and measurement device adapted to analyze the waveform and generate output based on the analysis; and a computer adapted to receive the output and calculate a numerical value representing the probability based on the output. Also provided is a method for assessing cardiovascular mortality risk at a health care facility or provider using this device.
