1. A method for determining a metric of the occurrence of non-sustained arrhythmias comprising;
- detecting non-sustained arrhythmia episodes as episodes;
storing characteristic data related to the non-sustained arrhythmia; and
calculating a metric of non-sustained arrhythmias based on the stored data.
