System and method for monitoring myocardial instability

A computer readable storage medium for a computing device having a memory and a microcontroller, the computer readable storage medium comprising instructions to:

• direct the memory to store values of multiple physiologic indices indicative of myocardial stability;
• and
• direct the microcontroller to:
• determine a window length representing an acceptable time period between potential start times associated with at least two of the physiologic indices;
• monitor multiple physiologic indices, 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;
• identify the potential start times associated with at least two of the physiologic indices;
• and
• declare 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 microcontroller.

A system for monitoring myocardial stability comprising:

• sensors configured to obtain values of multiple physiologic indices representative of myocardial stability;
• and
• a computing device for examining the physiologic indices to determine whether predetermined variations in the physiologic indices represent myocardial instability by:
• determining a window length indicative of an acceptable time period between potential start times associated with at least two physiologic indices;
• monitoring multiple physiologic indices for predetermined variations indicative of the potential start times and potential end times for candidate events representative of myocardial instability;
• identifying the potential start times associated with at least two of the 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.
