Implantable medical device for providing a diagnostic and/or therapeutic cardiac function within a patient

Abstract

An implantable medical device for providing a diagnostic and/or therapeutic cardiac function within a patient comprises a sensing arrangement for sensing electrocardiogram signals, a communication circuitry for data communication with a device external to the patient and a processing circuitry for processing sensed electrocardiogram signals. The processing circuitry is configured to identify the conduction of a threshold test measurement by an implantable pacemaker device and to cause a transmission of information concerning said threshold test measurement to the device external to the patient.
