Abstract
One aspect relates to a method to provide trended measurement of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In various embodiments of the method, data related to a status of a prescribed cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device is recorded, and the data is processed into trended data useful for assessing the status of the prescribed CRT. The trended data is presented for use to assess the status of the prescribed CRT and assist with determining programming adjustments for improving the prescribed CRT. Other aspects are provided herein.

29. An implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, comprising:
-
a plurality of interface channels to interface with a plurality of electrodes on at least one lead, wherein the plurality of interface channels are adapted to deliver pacing pulses to at least one of the plurality of electrodes and to receive sensed cardiac signals from at least one of the plurality of electrodes as part of a prescribed cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT);
a memory embedded with computer instructions;
a controller to communicate with the plurality of interface channels and with the memory, the controller to control delivery of the pacing pulses, to process the sensed signals, and to record CRT-related data relevant to a status of the prescribed CRT to the memory; and
a communication circuit to transmit the CRT-related data to an external device for presentation of data trends useful to assess the status of the prescribed CRT. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48)

49. A system, comprising:
-
an implantable cardiac rhythm (CRM) device to perform a prescribed cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), the CRM device including;
a set of interface channels to provide a prescribed cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), wherein at least one of the channels is adapted to deliver pacing pulses to at least one of a plurality of electrodes and at least one of the channels is adapted to receive sensed cardiac signals from at least one of the plurality of electrodes;
a memory embedded with controller instructions;
a controller to communicate with the set of interface channels and the memory, the controller to execute the controller instructions to control delivery of the pacing pulses, to process sensed cardiac signals, and to record CRT-related data relevant to a status of the prescribed CRT to the memory of the CRM device; and
a communication circuit to communicate with the controller and to transmit and receive wireless communication signals; and
a programmer to program the CRM device to provide the prescribed CRT, the programmer including;
a memory embedded with controller instructions;
a controller to communicate with the memory and execute the controller instructions;
a communication circuit to communicate with the controller and to transmit and receive wireless communication signals such that the programmer is capable of wirelessly communicating with the CRM device, and such that the CRT-related data is communicated from the memory of the CRM device to the memory of the programmer; and
a monitor to communicate with the controller to display information corresponding to trended data samples indicative of the status of the prescribed CRT. - View Dependent Claims (50, 51, 52, 53)
