1. A method for obtaining a localized cardiac measure, the method comprising:
- applying sensors to a subject, the sensors being configured and positioned to produce electrical signals representative of localized cardiac activity of the subject;
physiologically stressing the heart of the subject;
receiving electrical signals from at least two of the sensors;
processing the received signals to obtain a localized cardiac measure.

Abstract
A localized cardiac measure, such as a localized measure of myocardial ischemia, is obtained by applying sensors to a subject, where the sensors are configured to produce electrical signals representative of cardiac activity of the subject. The subject'"'"'s heart is then physiologically stressed by, for example, exercise stress testing, and electrical signals are received from at least two of the sensors. The received signals then are processed to obtain a localized cardiac measure.
