Abstract
A method and system for determining a patient's risk of ventricular tachycardia are disclosed. The method includes receiving ECG signals from a patient and filtering the collected ECG signals to generate filtered ECG signals. The method further includes identifying a heart vector from the filtered ECG signals, and measuring a velocity of the heart vector movement. A change in curvature of the identified heart vector movement is quantified and a risk of ventricular tachycardia is determined based at least on the measured velocity and the quantified change in curvature of the identified heart vector movement.
