1. A reduced lead set device for detecting and reporting a condition associated with acute cardiac ischemia in a patient, comprising:

  • (a) a reduced set of electrodes for sensing ECG signals of the patient, wherein the reduced set of electrodes includes less than ten electrodes;

    (b) a processing unit in communication with the reduced set of electrodes, the processing unit configured to;

    (i) derive a reduced set of lead data from the ECG signals;

    (ii) calculate features from the reduced set of lead data; and

    (iii) classify the features to determine whether the patient has an acute care ischemic or non-ischemic condition; and

    (c) a user output in communication with the processing unit for directly reporting to a user of the reduced lead set device whether the patient'"'"'s cardiac condition was determined ischemic.
