ABSTRACT:
Myocardial electrical stability is assessed by sampling an ECG waveform at corresponding fiducial locations for a plurality of beats and creating a scatter plot of the i.sup.th sample versus the (i- 1)th sample. A parameter .lambda. is determined which minimizes the sum of the total distances of the points of the scatter plot to an equation x(i)= 4.lambda.x(i- 1)[ 1-x(i- 1)]. The value of the parameter .lambda. is related to the electrical stability of the heart.
