Device: Observational Measurement of T-wave Alternans
Measurement is similar to typical EKG
Device: T-wave Alternans
T-Wave Alternans will be measured in an observational fashion

- correlation of T-Wave Alternans with Acute myocardial Ischemia [ Time Frame: 6 month ]We hope to correlate the Twave Alternans with Acute Myocardial Ischemia. Most importantly we are trying to create a sensitive measure of acute myocardial Ischemia or a rule out study.
