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.
