Abstract
A method and apparatus continuously, automatically, and adaptively facilitate the electrical activity of a patient's heart by pulsing the heart with current. The method and apparatus further continuously, automatically, and adaptively monitor the resulting electrical activity of the patient's heart to assess the patient's likelihood for myocardial electrical instability. The method comprises the steps of injecting current across the patient's heart, monitoring the patient's electrocardiogram for the effects of these current pulses, and adapting the current pulses continuously and automatically to maximize the effects, thereby assessing a patient's likelihood of sudden cardiac death.
