ABSTRACT:
A encoding/decoding algorithm for storing cardiac cycle length data in a memory of a body implantable device. The data encoding is based on a Holter function for sequentially storing in addresses in memory data representative of cardiac cycle length intervals and data representative of changes in the cardiac cycle length intervals. The sequence of storing is dictated by the value of the time interval change data. If the value of the time interval change data is greater than the storage capacity of a single memory location, then the time interval data is stored in memory at two consecutive memory locations. On the other hand, if the magnitude of the timer interval data is within the storage capacity of a single memory cell, it is stored in memory at a single memory cell. When decoding the stored data, retrieval proceeds through the memory according to the value of the data stored so that the time interval data is reconstructed from the originally stored time interval data or change in time interval data.
