Methods for monitoring laminar coordination in ventricular repolarization and for utilizing the results of said monitoring in cardiac disease diagnosis and treatment
First Claim
1. A method for monitoring laminar coordination in ventricular repolarization, comprising:
- providing a cardiac function test for examining human cardiac function, the cardiac function test including making a measurement of at least one marker, healthy laminar coordination during repolarization being indicated by a measurement which meets an indicated threshold of measurement for the at least one marker, and malfunctioning laminar coordination being indicated by a measurement that does not meet the indicated threshold of measurement for the at least one marker;
administering the cardiac function test to a human; and
detecting malfunctioning laminar coordination by locating a measurement that does not meet the indicated threshold of measurement for the at least one marker as an indication of malfunctioning laminar coordination within results of the cardiac function test.

Abstract
Methods for monitoring laminar coordination in ventricular repolarization and for utilizing the results of such monitoring in cardiac disease diagnosis and treatment. The methods include providing and administering a cardiac function test such as an EKG for examining human cardiac function. The cardiac function test in turn includes making a measurement of at least one marker. Healthy laminar coordination during repolarization is indicated by a measurement which meets an indicated threshold of measurement for the at least one marker. Malfunctioning laminar coordination is indicated by a measurement that does not meet the indicated threshold of measurement for the at least one marker. Malfunctioning laminar coordination is detected by locating a measurement that does not meet the indicated threshold of measurement for the at least one marker as an indication of malfunctioning laminar coordination within results of the cardiac function test. An electronic pacemaker may be employed as a treatment modality.
