Summary:Methods for determining the probability of cardiac disease indicators by utilizing an optimal lead set to measure electrocardiographic data to find the measurement extrema over an optimum portion of the Thorax. The optimal lead topology is designed to produce estimates of total thoracic electrocardiographic information, low noise and errors within the constraints imposed by the measured leads' associated constraint set, which include disease targets. Importantly an optimal electrode topology and measured lead set is deemed optimal when the estimated lead topology provides the lowest global estimation errors. An optimum electrode topology is one that places the electrodes in arbitrary, but optimal, positions on the Thorax and not in a grid like manner (such as used by a BSPM vest electrode array) nor necessarily in those positions used in current practice such as for standard 12 lead or EASI leads.
