First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for use in an implantable medical device, comprising:
- storing a first threshold corresponding to detecting a first physiological event;
sensing a first physiological signal corresponding to the first physiological event;
detecting a plurality of the first physiological events in response to the first physiological signal and the first threshold;
storing a second threshold different than the first threshold;
determining, in response to detecting at least one of the plurality of the first physiological events, if the second threshold has been met; and
enabling detailed monitoring of next ones of the detected plurality of the first physiological events in response to the second threshold being met.

Abstract
An implantable medical device uses a method for dynamically managing physiological signal monitoring. A physiological signal is sensed for detecting physiological events in response a first threshold. A determination is made whether a second threshold has been met in response to detecting physiological events. If the second threshold has been met, detailed monitoring of the physiological events is enabled.
