Abstract: A system and method for virtually detecting a medical condition, such as acute myocardial infarction (AMI), in a patient using holistic diagnostic procedures implemented in medical devices. Physiological parameters in a patient are monitored in an implantable medical device (IMD) to detect deviations from desired characteristics. When severe physiological parameter deviations exist indicating with a desired certainty that the patient is experiencing a medical condition (e.g., AMI), an alert is generated. If only minor deviations from the desired characteristics exist, additional holistic diagnostic procedures are performed virtually for diagnosing whether the patient is likely to be experiencing the medical condition, such as querying the patient through an external device regarding symptoms the patient is experiencing and analyzing the patient's responses to the questions to determine whether the patient is experiencing the medical condition.

Abstract: Techniques for detecting ischemia and classifying a type of ischemia are described. Electrograms of cardiac activity may be generated using implanted or external electrodes, e.g., electrodes carried on vascular leads within the heart and a housing electrode. In some examples, ischemia is detected and classified as benign or malignant based on whether a change an electrogram metric is detected, or first detected, in an endocardial electrogram or a non-endocardial electrogram. The relative timing of the change in the electrogram metric and a change in heart rate or patient activity may also be considered. In some examples, the system may create a stress test for detecting ischemia by instructing the patient to exercise or increasing the cardiac pacing rate.

The method further includes recommending addition of a supplemental ECG device when it is determined that the one or more of the existing ECG devices are inadequate for providing cardiac electrical data that identifies a specific cardiac event.
