摘要

A medical device system having an improved interface and method of operation that more efficiently facilitates interaction with a user. In one aspect the medical device system and method graphically displays a hierarchy of input mechanism that each correspond to a set of arrhythmic episodes having a common data characteristic, such as zone of detection of arrhythmia type. By selecting one of the input mechanisms, the user is able to quickly view detailed information of the set of arrhythmic episodes. Among other features, the medical device system also displays cardiac events in a histogram format such that the histogram has an axis representing a range of heart beat rates. According to the invention, the system scales the histogram as a function of all of the stored event in a normal view and scales the histogram as a function of a subset ot the events in a magnification view, thereby allowing the user to better see the events along a portion of the histogram.
