Method and system to graphically display programming parameters for multi-chamber devices
First Claim
1. A method of programming an implantable therapeutic stimulation device that senses from and delivers therapeutic stimulation to multiple sites within a patient under a plurality of individually programmable parameters, the method comprising:
- displaying a waveform, comprising;
displaying a waveform indicating expected physiological activity under a first set of programmed parameters of the device;
automatically determining which of the parameters need to be individually programmed;
indicating the parameters that need to be programmed via indicating regions of the displayed waveform that are affected by the indicated parameter;
providing control inputs to reprogram the indicated parameters; and
indicating as indicated parameters are reprogrammed by modifying the waveform in accordance with the reprogrammed parameters; and
graphically displaying the parameters that need to be programmed, comprising;
graphically displaying the parameters in a spatial relationship corresponding to a spatial relationship of the sites within the patient expected to be affected by the parameters;
providing control inputs to program the parameters; and
indicating as parameters are programmed;
wherein graphically displaying the parameters comprises displaying multiple parameters arranged in a left-right and up-down spatial relations corresponding to relative spatial locations of a heart.

Abstract
A method and system for programming an implantable therapeutic stimulation device sensing from and delivering therapeutic stimulations to multiple sites within a patient under a plurality of programmable parameters. The method includes automatically determining which parameters need to be programmed, graphically indicating specific parameters that need to be programmed in a spatial correspondence to the affected sites in the patient and/or displaying a waveform corresponding to expected physiological activity with the programming, and providing control inputs to program the specific parameters. The method can also include automatically evaluating the programmed parameters, and if errors exist in the programming, indicating the errors and awaiting corrective input, else programming the implantable device. The method can also include automatically determining a number of sensing and stimulation electrodes connected to the device.
