The present invention is directed to a method for diagnosing silent and / or symptomatic cardiac diseases in human patients, based on extracting and analyzing hidden factors or a combination of hidden and known factors of ECG signals. The diagnosis method employs rest-ECG signals of a group of diagnosed patients, the group consisting of patients a-priori diagnosed as sick patients and of patients a-priori diagnosed as healthy patients by trusted procedures. Artificial neural networks are then iteratively trained to accurately classify the cardiac disease by processing the corresponding raw input signals of the diagnosed patients. The weights and biases data representing the trained neural networks are saved. Unknown, new patients are diagnosed as sick or healthy patients by processing their corresponding raw ECG signals by the trained neural networks.

The present invention relates generally to a diagnostic device including a prognostic assay for parameters which are indicative of a condition or event associated with the systemic vasculature. More particularly, the present invention provides an assay to detect parameters associated with a vascular disease including cardiovascular, stroke, pulmonary, renovascular, cerebrovascular, thrombotic or generalized arterial or venous condition or event including acute coronary syndrome such as but not limited to acute myocardial infarction, heart failure, atheromoma or a thrombotic condition. The identification of these parameters or more particularly a pattern of parameters enables the diagnosis of a condition or event or the determination of the risk of development of a condition or event associated to the systemic vasculature. Still more particularly, the present invention is directed to a diagnostic device comprising a set of members wherein one or more of said members has or have specific or generic binding partners in a biological sample from an animal including human subject wherein the pattern of binding of the members to the binding partners is indicative, predictive or otherwise associated with a likelihood of a condition or event within the systemic vasculature. The absence of detection of specific or generic binding partners is also of indicative or predictive value. This is particularly important in cases where patients are unable to communicate advice to a physician on their own condition, such as during surgery or for patients in a coma. It is also useful in determining the risk of a vascular disease including cardiovascular, stroke, pulmonary, renovascular, cerebrovascular, thrombotic or generalized arterial or venous conditions or events in a healthy subject or a subject entering into an exposure to risk such as surgery or chemotherapy. The present invention is useful inter alia for the identification and / or quantitation of biochemical markers of conditions or events in the systemic vasculature such as heart disease, heart disorders, infections of the heart, stroke and thrombosis as well as the determination of a risk of development of these conditions including the absence of disorders or absence of risk of the development of a disorder. The assessment of such conditions may be made in a clinical setting, as part of triage, as part of a routine testing protocol and / or as a laboratory procedure.
