ELECTRODE LEAD INTEGRITY REPORTS
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- obtaining impedance trend data for an electrical path, the electrical path comprising a plurality of electrodes;
obtaining additional diagnostic data that is associated with the electrical path, the additional diagnostic data being distinct from the impedance trend data; and
combining both the impedance trend data and the additional diagnostic data into a displayable report that indicates whether there is a possible condition with the electrical path.

Abstract
In general, the disclosure relates to techniques for providing a combination of stored diagnostic information, including impedance trend data, into one displayable report that may be used to diagnose a possible condition with an implantable medical electrode lead. One example device includes a processor that is configured to obtain impedance trend data for an electrical path, the electrical path comprising a plurality of electrodes, and to obtain additional diagnostic data that is associated with the electrical path, the additional diagnostic data being distinct from the impedance trend data. The device is further configured to combine both the impedance trend data and the additional diagnostic data into a displayable report that indicates whether there is a possible condition with the electrical path. The additional diagnostic data may include non-sustained episode data, sensing integrity data, pacing threshold, and/or electrogram data (such as P-wave amplitude and/or R-wave amplitude data).
