Abstract
The present invention is directed to a method for determining onset of ventricular arrhythmias using bounded-input bounded-output stability of QT interval (QTI) dynamics. The method of the present invention includes two parts. A first part of the method determines the dependence of each QTI on several prior QTIs and RR intervals (RRI). This determination is represented as an autoregressive model with exogenous input (ARX). A second part of the method determines the BIBO stability of the ARX model in the z-domain. The metrics associated with the first and second parts of the method are then used to predict onset of arrhythmia.
