Method and apparatus for simultaneously presenting cardiac and neural signals
First Claim
1. A system for communicating with one or more implantable medical devices, the system comprising:
- a telemetry circuit to receive data representative of cardiac and neural activities from the one or more implantable medical devices;
an external control circuit coupled to the telemetry circuit, the external control circuit including a presentation controller adapted to produce and temporally align one or more cardiac signals and one or more neural signals for visual presentation based on the received data; and
a presentation device coupled to the presentation controller, the presentation device adapted to simultaneously present the temporally aligned one or more cardiac signals and one or more neural signals.

Abstract
A presentation device such as a display screen or a printer provides for simultaneous presentation of temporally aligned cardiac and neural signals. At least one cardiac signal in the form of a cardiac signal trace or cardiac event markers and at least one neural signal in the form of a neural signal trace or neural event markers are simultaneously presented. The cardiac signal indicates sensed cardiac electrical activities and/or cardiac stimulation pulse deliveries. The neural signal indicates sensed neural electrical activities and/or neural stimulation pulse deliveries. In one embodiment, the presentation device is part of an external system communicating with an implantable system that senses cardiac and/or neural signals and delivers cardiac and/or neural stimulation pulses.
