Patent Images
1. A method of performing a medical diagnostic, the method comprising:
- receiving data stored in an implantable medical device;
viewing a display that includes at least one graph showing individual frequencies of at least first and second types of arrhythmias over a predetermined period of time, wherein the at least one graph is formed from the data received from the implantable medical device; and
deriving a diagnostic based at least on the at least one graph.

10. A data structure to record individual frequencies of at least first and second types of arrhythmias so as to allow a presentation of the individual frequencies of the at least first and second types of arrhythmias, the data structure comprising:
-
at least first and second count variables to contain a count of the individual frequencies of the at least one first and second types of arrhythmias; and
a recorded episode data structure to ascertain that the at least one of the first and second types of arrhythmias is present, wherein once the recorded episode data structure ascertains that the at least one of the types of arrhythmias is present, the count variable for the at least one of the types of arrhythmias is incremented. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A method of presenting at least one type of arrhythmia, the method comprising:
-
monitoring a heart rate over a first predetermined duration;
triggering when the heart rate reaches a predetermined threshold over the first predetermined duration to define a detected arrhythmia episode;
recording when the detected arrhythmia episode is sustained over a second predetermined duration and a therapy is applied; and
displaying at least one graph to show the frequency of the detected arrhythmia episode over a predetermined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A method of presenting at least one type of arrhythmia, the method comprising:
-
monitoring a heart rate over a first predetermined duration;
triggering if the heart rate reaches a predetermined threshold during the first predetermined duration to define a detected arrhythmia episode;
recording a detected arrhythmia episode when the detected arrhythmia episode is sustained over a second predetermined duration; and
displaying at least one graph to show the frequency of the detected arrhythmia episode over a predetermined period of time. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
