Abstract
A method of assessing the cardiac arrhythmia risk in a subject to provide a measure of cardiac or cardiovascular health in that subject is described herein. In one embodiment, the method comprises the steps of: (a) collecting at least one QT and RR interval data set from the subject; (b) separating fluctuations from slow trends in said at least one QT and RR interval data set; (c) comparing said QT and RR fluctuations to one another and (d) generating from the comparison of step (c) partial measures of risk of cardiac arrhythmia in said subject. A greater difference between QT and RR fluctuations indicates greater risk of cardiac arrhythmia in said subject. The data sets are collected in such a manner that they reflect almost exclusively the conduction in the heart muscle and minimize the effect on the data sets of rapid transients due to autonomic nervous system and hormonal control.
