Method and apparatus for post-processing of episodes detected by a medical device

摘要

A method and system of post-processing of sensing data generated by a medical device that includes transmitting a plurality of stored sensing data generated by the medical device to an access device, the stored sensing data including sensed atrial events and sensed ventricular events. The access device determines, in response to the transmitted data, instances where the medical device identified a cardiac event being detected in response to the sensing data, and determines a ratio of sensed atrial events to sensed ventricular events in response to the transmitted data.

1. A method of post-processing of sensing data generated by and stored within an implantable medical device, comprising:
receiving the sensing data from the implantable medical device with an external access device, wherein the sensing data includes sensed atrial events and sensed ventricular events; determining, with the external access device, in response to the received data, instances where the implantable medical device identified a cardiac event being detected in response to the sensing data; and determining, with the external access device, a ratio of sensed atrial events to sensed ventricular events in response to the received data, wherein determining the ratio comprises:
defining a window of the sensing data associated with the identified cardiac event being detected, the window including only sensing data occurring prior to and including the cardiac event being detected; anddetermining a number of sensed atrial events and a number of sensed ventricular events in the window.
