ABSTRACT:
A system for detecting a patient's susceptibility to arrhythmias and cardiac tissue abnormality is disclosed. The system consists of a computer, a display software loaded onto the computer that generates graphical user interfaces (GUIs), an electronic interface, and a plurality of electrodes. The electronics interface is in electronic communication with the computer, and further in electronic communication with the electrodes that are placed by self-adhesion at predetermined locations on a test subject. According to one aspect of the invention, the system enables a user, typically a medical professional, to initiate, with minimal input, certain diagnostic test involving observing a series of QRS complexes that are both biased with a subpacing current and unbiased. The QRS complexes are then compared and analyzed by the system to detect a patient's susceptibility to arrhythmias and cardiac tissue abnormality.
