Abstract
A device (10) for processing electrocardiogram signals and marker signals includes an input interface (30) for receiving electrocardiogram signals and marker signals detected by an implantable medical device; an analyzer unit (32) connected to the input interface (30) for processing the electrocardiogram signals and marker signals, and an output interface (34) connected to the analyzer unit (32) for output of data representing an analytical report to a playback unit. The analyzer unit (32) is designed to analyze electrocardiogram signals and marker signals in combination, such that the analyzer unit (32) detects relevant particular features on the basis of predefined criteria; assigns a priority to a detected particular feature; and generates an analytical report containing at least a listing of the detected particular features.

14. A device (10) for processing electrocardiogram signals and marker signals including:
-
a. an input interface (30) in communication with an implantable medical device, the input interface (30) receiving (1) electrocardiogram signals, and (2) input marker signals marking features of the electrocardiogram signals, from the implantable medical device; b. an analyzer unit (32) receiving the electrocardiogram signals and input marker signals from the input interface (30), the analyzer unit (32); (1) applying predefined detection criteria to one or more of the electrocardiogram signals and input marker signals, thereby identifying particular features in one or more of the electrocardiogram signals and input marker signals which meet the predefined detection criteria; (2) applying predefined priority ranking criteria to the identified particular features, thereby assigning priority rankings to the identified particular features; (3) generating an output report containing at least a listing of the identified particular features having the highest priority rankings. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 19, 20)
