Method and system for neurocardiac differential analysis of ischemia and myocardial infarction

A neurocardiac device (NCD) system for differential analysis of cardiac events, the NCD system comprising:

• a cardiac signal monitoring (CSM) module configured to monitor cardiac signals from a heart to detect deviations indicative of at least one of ischemia and myocardial infarction (MI);
• a pain signal monitoring (PSM) module configured to monitor physiologic surrogate signals associated with pain to detect chest pain;
• and
• a cardiac event characterization (CEC) module configured to characterize a cardiac event exhibited by the heart based on whether the cardiac event occurs in a presence of at least one of the ischemia, MI, and chest pain.
