Abstract
One embodiment includes a system for prescribing therapeutic treatment for a patient via communications over a network, including an implantable medical device (IMD) to be implanted in the patient to record a patient characteristic, the implantable medical device being programmable and configured to communicate via wireless communications with the IMD and to communicate securely over the network, the medical device programming computer including a user interface. The embodiment includes a server to communicate securely over the network with the medical device programming computer, the server including at least a first expert prescription system comprising at least one physician'"'"'s prescription and at least one expert-system to compare the at least one patient characteristic to the at least one physician'"'"'s prescription to issue a parameter to be programmed into the IMD based on the comparison.

15. A medical device programmer, comprising:
-
a data input for receiving PR interval durations measured by a pulse generator;
a data input for receiving a duration interval of a ORS complex and a timing relationship between the right and left ventricular depolarizations;
control circuitry for using at least first and second PR interval durations to select an AV delay interval for delivering one or more ventricular pacing pulses and for using the duration interval of the QRS complex and the timing relationship between right and left ventricular depolarizations to select among ventricular pacing sites in which to provide pacing pulses;
a display screen to display the selected AV delay interval and the selected ventricular pacing site or sites; and
an input to initiate programming the selected AV delay interval and ventricular pacing site or sites into the pulse generator. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 47, 48, 49, 50, 59)
