Adjudication of Arrhythmia Episode Data Systems and Methods
First Claim
1. A system for automatically adjudicating arrhythmia episode information, comprising:
- an episode database having episode data regarding a plurality of different arrhythmia episodes generated from at least one data-generating device;
an adjudication processor configured to receive as input episode data regarding one of the different arrhythmia episodes and output characterization data characterizing the input episode data, wherein the characterization data includes an arrhythmia classification, wherein the arrhythmia classification is selected from a group comprising at least monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MVT);
an episode processor configured to process the characterization data and episode data, provide at least one report on the characterization data related to a plurality of the different arrhythmia episodes, and provide at least one programming recommendation or at least one alert.

Abstract
A system and method for automatically adjudicating arrhythmia episode information is described, and includes an episode database having episode data regarding a plurality of different arrhythmia episodes and an adjudication processor configured to output characterization data characterizing the input episode data. The characterization data includes an arrhythmia classification. The system further includes an episode processor configured to process the characterization data and episode data, provide at least one report on the characterization data related to a plurality of the different arrhythmia episodes, and provide at least one programming recommendation or at least one alert.

19. A system for automatically adjudicating arrhythmia episode information, comprising:
-
at least one cardiac rhythm management device that is implanted in a patient; an episode database having episode data regarding a plurality of different arrhythmia episodes generated from the at least one cardiac rhythm management devices that is implanted in a patient; an adjudication processor configured to receive as input episode data regarding one of the different arrhythmia episodes and output characterization data characterizing the input episode data, wherein the characterization data includes an arrhythmia classification, wherein arrhythmia classification is selected from a group comprising at least polymorphic ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (PVT/VF), monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MVT) and atrial fibrillation (AF), wherein the episode data input includes at least a portion of an intracardiac electrogram; an adjudication database for storing the characterization data output by the adjudication processor; and an episode processor configured to process characterization data and episode data, provide at least one programming recommendation for the data-generating device, and provide a report for a particular patient on the number of arrhythmia episodes classified as PVT/VF and on the number of episodes classified as MVT.

20. A method for automatically adjudicating arrhythmia episode information, comprising the steps of:
-
providing an episode database having episode data regarding a plurality of different arrhythmia episodes generated from at least one data-generating device; processing the episode data for one of the different arrhythmia episodes and outputting characterization data characterizing the episode data, wherein the characterization data includes an arrhythmia classification, wherein arrhythmia classification is selected from a group comprising at least monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (MVT); processing the characterization data, providing at least one report on the characterization data, and providing at least one programming recommendation or at least one alert to the data-generating device.
