Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for monitoring, with improved specificity, occurrences of episodes relating to disorders that are known to affect T-wave morphology. T-wave variability is monitored. When T-wave variability, or a change therein, exceeds a corresponding threshold for a specific period of time, monitoring for a specific change in T-wave morphology that is known to be indicative of episodes relating to a disorder may be triggered.
