1. A method for processing data from an implantable medical device (IMD), the method comprising:
- sensing physiological episodes;
storing data associated with the physiological episodes in the IMD; and
reporting the stored data on a schedule that is based on a pattern of recurrence of the physiological episodes, wherein reporting the data on the schedule that is based on the pattern of recurrence of the physiological episodes comprises;
determining a dominant frequency of repetition of the physiological episodes; and
establishing the schedule for transmission of the data based on a multiple of the dominant frequency of repetition of the physiological episodes.

Abstract
An implantable medical device (IMD) senses physiological episodes and stores data associated with the physiological episodes in the IMD. The data is then processed based on a pattern of recurrence of the physiological episodes.

16. A method for processing data from an implantable medical device (IMD), the method comprising:
-
sensing physiological episodes; storing data associated with the physiological episodes in the IMD; reporting the stored data on a schedule that is based on a pattern of recurrence of the physiological episodes; and modifying settings in the IMD based on the pattern of recurrence of the physiological episodes, wherein said modifying settings in the IMD comprises adjusting a resolution of data stored in the IMD based on the pattern of recurrence of the physiological episodes.
