Abstract
An interactive graphical user interface (GUI) is implemented to display virtual static and animated cardiac electrophysiology and implanted medical device information. The GUI is structured in a layered format to display a subset of display means relating to further details. The invention also enables access and transfer of the display and associated information via a network system preferably web-enabled to use the Internet.
