ABSTRACT:
A method and system for monitoring the behavior of an implanted pacemaker counts (records) the number of times that a given internal event or state change of the pacemaker occurs, and also determines the rate at which each event or state change thus counted occurs. The event counts and their associated rate are stored (recorded) in appropriate memory circuits housed within the pacemaker device. At an appropriate time, the stored event count and rate data are downloaded to an external programming device. The external programming device processes the event count and rate data, and displays a distribution of the event count data as a function of its rate of occurrence, as well as other statistical information derived therefrom. The displayed information, and its associated statistical information, allows a baseline recording to be made that establishes the implanted pacemaker's behavior for a given patient under known conditions. Such baseline recording of event counts in combination with the associated rate of occurrence of such event counts provides significant insight into the past behavior of the pacemaker as implanted in a particular patient. The past behavior of the pacemaker, in turn, may then be used to predict with a high degree of accuracy the future behavior of the pacemaker.
