1. A system for recording and presenting electrophysiological data, comprising:
- an implantable cardiac device having a first sensing channel for sensing cardiac electrical activity and generating electrogram signals;
wherein a controller of the implantable cardiac device is programmed to compute a plurality of representative electrograms with respect to time, with each such representative electrogram representing a defined time period and being derived from one or more electrograms recorded during the defined time period; and
, an external programmer configured to download representative electrograms from the implantable device and generate an aggregate display of the representative electrograms.

Abstract
A system and method is presented in which an implantable cardiac device is configured to generate representative electrograms which can be transmitted to an external programmer for display. A representative electrogram represents a patient'"'"'s typical electrogram during a defined time period or when a particular condition exists. Such representative electrograms may be averages or other statistical measures of electrograms recorded continuously or periodically during the defined time period or during the time when the particular condition exists.

11. A system for recording and presenting electrophysiological data, comprising:
-
an implantable cardiac device having a first sensing channel for sensing cardiac electrical activity and generating electrogram signals;
wherein a controller of the implantable cardiac device is programmed to store a plurality of representative electrograms with respect to heart rate, with each such representative electrogram representing a defined heart rate range and being derived from one or more electrograms recorded when the heart rate is within the defined range; and
,an external programmer configured to download representative electrograms from the implantable device and generate an aggregate display of the representative electrograms. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
