Systems, methods and computer program products for heart monitoring
First Claim
1. A system for monitoring a patient'"'"'s heart, comprising:
- a registering unit comprising a first controller in electrical communication with the patient'"'"'s heart, said first controller being configured to register an electrical signal emitted by the patient'"'"'s heart; and
a second controller in operable communication with said first controller, said second controller being configured to receive data from said first controller corresponding to the registered electrical signal;
to generate a registered template comprising a digital graphical representation of an intracardiac electrogram for the registered electrical signal; and
to compare the registered template to a baseline template comprising a digital graphical representation of an intracardiac electrogram for a baseline electrical signal emitted by the patient'"'"'s heart to determine whether the patient'"'"'s heart is functioning properly, wherein the second controller is adapted to compare the baseline template and the registered template through a wavelet transformation in which the templates are transformed to create one or more wavelets in the form of corresponding fragments of the templates, the second controller being adapted to compare one or more registered wavelets to one or more corresponding baseline wavelets to determine whether the patient'"'"'s heart is functioning properly.

Abstract
The present invention provides systems, methods and computer program products for monitoring a heart. According to one embodiment, the system includes an implantable registering unit. The registering unit comprises a first controller structured to register an electrical signal from the heart. The system includes a second controller in operable communication with the first controller. The second controller comprises a data repository structured to receive data corresponding to the registered electrical signal and being structured to store the data. The data repository stores data corresponding to a baseline electrical signal of the heart. The second controller is structured to receive the data from the first controller corresponding to the registered electrical signal and to compare the registered electrical signal to the baseline electrical signal to determine whether the heart is functioning properly.
