ABSTRACT:
An implantable pacemaker continuously records pacing events and their respective rates of occurrence in sequence, as they occur, into an Event Record stored in a circular buffer. The circular buffer always contains the most recent events and rates collected. The recording of the pacing events selectively occurs at every event, or at sampling rates of one event per fixed sample interval. A programming device, coupled to the implantable pacemaker through a telemetry link, selectively retrieves the recorded pacing events and rates from the Event Record and reports subsets thereof in condensed or summarized form using numerical and/or graphical formats. The pacing event data collected in the Event Record is three-dimensional in that each pacing event includes a pacemaker event, an associated pacemaker or heart rate, and a real time interval. The programming device also calculates and reports statistical information from the data collected in the Event Record. The Event Record provides a base recording that establishes the behavior of the pacemaker in a particular patient under ascertainable conditions.
