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.

Abstract: New in the art of medicine in this invention is the ability to improve cardiac output and transmural ventricular perfusion and diminish ventricular arrhythmias in the human heart by correcting a common defect in electrical regulation of the systole of the ventricles, this being a defect in a previously unknown mechanism, namely laminar coordination of ventricular repolariation by the His-Purkinje system.
