1. An apparatus for monitoring human heart-related status parameters, comprising:

  • a sensor having at least two electrodes adapted to be worn on the human body, said electrodes mounted in a spaced apart relationship to each other such that said electrodes engage inequipotential heart-related signal locations on said body within the same equivalence region of said body;

    a processing facility in communication with said sensor, said processing facility receiving said inequipotential heart-related signals from said at least two electrodes within the same equivalence region, said processing facility programmed to determine a heart-related status parameter from said inequipotential heart-related signals engaged by said at least two electrodes mounted in said same equivalence region of said body;

    an amplifier in electrical connection with said sensor for increasing the strength of said heart-related signal; and

    a filter in electrical connection with said sensor for removing noise from said heart-related signal.
