A cardiac rhythm management system transmits event markers from an implantable device to a remote user interface such as an external programmer. The event markers include timestamp information. A printed/displayed event marker representation is aligned to a printed/displayed heart signal representation based at least in part on the timestamp information. Proper alignment of the printed/displayed heart signal representation to the printed/displayed event marker, and proper alignment of the printed/displayed event markers with respect to each other, provides more accurate diagnostic information to the caregiver. This assists the caregiver in using the cardiac rhythm management system to provide a patient with proper cardiac rhythm management therapy.
An implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device comprising:
A remote user interface (UI) for an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, wherein the UI is adapted to be communicatively coupled to the CRM device for receiving a substantially real-time event marker and a substantially real-time electrogram therefrom, in which the event marker includes a timestamp relating at least in part to an approximate time between an event associated with the event marker and another event associated with another event marker, and based at least in part on the timestamp, the UI aligns an indication of the event marker to a substantially real-time representation of a heart signal on one of a display or a recording.
An system comprising:
A remote user interface (UI) for a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, the user interface adapted to be communicatively coupled to the CRM device for receiving a substantially real-time event marker therefrom, in which the event marker includes a timestamp relating at least in part to an approximate time between an event associated with the event marker and another event associated with another event marker, and based at least in part on the timestamp, the UI aligns an indication of the event marker to a substantially real-time representation of a heart signal on one of a display or a recording, and in which the UI also aligns the indication of the event marker to the representation of the electrogram signal based on a fixed delay.
A remote user interface (UI) for a cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, the user interface adapted to be communicatively coupled to the CRM device for receiving a substantially real-time event marker therefrom, in which the event marker includes a timestamp relating at least in part to an approximate time between an event associated with the event marker and another event associated with another event marker, and based at least in part on the timestamp, the UI aligns an indication of the event marker to a substantially real-time representation of a heart signal on one of a display or a recording, and in which the UI is adapted to receive data from the CRM device in frames, in which each data frame includes a plurality of data slots including:
A remote user interface (UI) for a cardiac rhythm management device, the user interface adapted to be communicatively coupled to the CRM device for receiving a substantially real-time event marker therefrom, in which the event marker includes a timestamp relating at least in part to an approximate time between an event associated with the event marker and another event associated with another event marker, and based at least in part on the timestamp, the UI aligns an indication of the event marker to a substantially real-time representation of a heart signal on one of a display or a recording, and in which the timestamp relates at least in part to an approximate time between an event associated with the event marker and the transmission completion time associated with a previous event marker associated with the same heart chamber.
