Patent Images
1. A system for monitoring a patient'"'"'s heart, comprising:
- a registering unit located external to the patient'"'"'s body, wherein the registering unit comprises a first controller in electrical communication with the patient'"'"'s heart, and wherein the first controller is configured to register from the patient'"'"'s heart;
(i) a baseline electrical signal; and
(ii) at least one registered electrical signal after registration of the registered baseline electrical signal; and
a second controller in operable communication with the first controller of the registering unit, wherein the second controller receives the registered baseline electrical signal and the at least one registered electrical signal from the first controller and generates;
(i) a baseline template corresponding to the baseline electrical signal; and
(ii) at least one second template corresponding to the at least one registered electrical signal, and wherein the second controller is configured to compare the at least one second template to the baseline template to determine whether the patient'"'"'s heart is functioning properly.

Abstract
Disclosed are systems and methods for monitoring a heart. According to one embodiment, the system includes a registering unit positioned external to the patient'"'"'s body. The registering unit comprises a first controller configured to register an electrical signal from the heart. The system includes a second controller in operable communication with the first controller. The second controller is configured to receive the data from the first controller corresponding to the registered electrical signal and to compare the registered electrical signal to a baseline electrical signal to determine whether the heart is functioning properly.

12. A method for monitoring a patient'"'"'s heart, comprising:
-
registering a baseline electrical signal from the patient'"'"'s heart with a first controller located external to the patient'"'"'s body and in electrical communication with the patient'"'"'s heart; registering at least one registered electrical signal with the first controller after the registration of the baseline electrical signal; communicating data corresponding to the registered baseline electrical signal and at least one registered electrical signal from the first controller to a second controller; generating a baseline template corresponding with the registered baseline electrical signal; generating at least one second template corresponding with the at least one registered electrical signal; and comparing the at least one second template with the baseline template to determine whether the patient'"'"'s heart is functioning properly. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for monitoring an electrically active tissue of a patient, comprising:
-
a registering unit located external to the patient'"'"'s body, wherein the registering unit comprises a first controller in electrical communication with the tissue, and wherein the first controller is configured to register a plurality of electrical signals from the tissue; a plurality of electrodes coupled to the registering unit and positioned external to the patient'"'"'s body, wherein the plurality of electrodes are configured to be in electrical communication with the tissue and communicate the plurality of registered electrical signals to the first controller; and a second controller in operable communication with the first controller of the registering unit, wherein the second controller receives the plurality of registered electrical signals from the first controller and generates;
(i) a baseline template corresponding to at least one of the registered electrical signals; and
(ii) at least one second template corresponding to at least one other of the registered electrical signals, and wherein the second controller is configured to compare the at least one second template to the baseline template to determine whether the tissue is functioning properly.
