1. A device (10) for processing electrocardiogram signals and marker signals including:
- a. an input interface (30) receiving electrocardiogram signals and marker signals detected by an implantable medical device;
b. an analyzer unit (32) connected to the input interface (30), the analyzer unit (32);
(1) processing the electrocardiogram signals and marker signals, and(2) detecting particular features in one or more of the electrocardiogram signals and marker signals on the basis of predefined detection criteria, and(3) assigning priority rankings to detected particular features; and
c. an output interface (34) connected to the analyzer unit (32), the output interface (34) outputting data representing an analytical report, the analytical report containing at least a listing of the detected particular features.

Abstract
An implantable shock electrode line having a proximal terminal for connection to an implantable defibrillator, an elongated flexible line body, and a shock electrode and a drug delivery device arranged at or near the distal end of the line body. A drug depot connected to the drug delivery device is provided in the shock electrode line, and the terminal is designed as a purely electric standard terminal. The drug delivery device is designed for control by an electric pulse transmitted over the electric terminal to the shock electrode line.

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)

18. 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) in communication with the input interface (30), the analyzer unit (32); (1) detecting particular features in the electrocardiogram signals, and (2) generating analyzer marker signals marking the detected particular features of the electrocardiogram signals, (3) comparing the input marker signals and analyzer marker signals for differences; and c. an output interface (34) connected to the analyzer unit (32), the output interface (34) outputting data representing an analytical report, the analytical report containing at least a listing of some of the detected particular features for which both input marker signals and analyzer marker signals exist.
