Systems and methods for controlling rate responsive pacing
First Claim
1. A medical system comprising:
- an external medical device comprisinga video output; and
a processor in communication with the video output; and
an implantable medical device capable of rate adaptive pacing based on a pacing algorithm, wherein the pacing algorithm includes one or more rate response parameters,the external medical device configured to display information through the video output as a graph, the graph comprising data representing pacing rates of the implantable medical device as a function of activity level over time;
the external medical device further configured to accept pacing rate user input through direct manipulation of the graph, wherein the system is configured to calculate changes to one or more rate response parameters of the pacing algorithm in response to pacing rate user input.

Abstract
Embodiments of the invention are related to medical systems and methods that can be used to control features of implanted medical devices, amongst other things. In an embodiment, the invention includes a medical system including an external medical device. The external medical device including a video output and a processor in communication with the video output. The system can be configured to display information through the video output as a graph, the graph comprising data representing pacing rates of an implantable device as a function of activity level over time. The system can further be configured to accept user input through direct manipulation of the graph. Other embodiments are also included herein.
