ABSTRACT:
An alternative mechanism in an implantable device for meeting the physician's need for a stored electrogram and/or other stored physiologic signal associated with a detected arrhythmic or other physiological event without the undesirable current drain associated with continuous operation of a sense amplifier and a looping memory. The device regularly but intermittently activates a sense amplifier or other sensor and associated memory circuitry, independent of detection of arrhythmias. The device may temporarily store only a single record, replacing it with new records as they are stored, or may store multiple records, replacing the oldest stored record with the newest stored record. On detection of an arrhythmia or other defined physiological event, the device may simply transfer the one or more temporarily stored electrogram strips to permanent storage, for later use by the physician in diagnosing the condition of the patient prior to detection of the event.
