摘要:
A programming system is provided that allows a physician or medical personnel to optimize the settings of various arrhythmia detection criteria and/or parameters related to hemodynamic performance to be programmed into the implanted cardiac stimulating device. The cardiac stimulating device may be a pacemaker or cardioverter/defibrillator that detects heart arrhythmias by using various arrhythmia detection criteria. The cardiac stimulating device is capable of recording the patient's cardiac signals and/or sensor data. The programming system may play back the recorded signals to test the detection criteria and hemodynamic performance and may simulate the response of the device to the cardiac signal. Alternatively, the programming system may play back an artificially created or previously stored cardiac signal for test purposes. As a result, the recorded signal may be played back repeatedly without unnecessarily stressing the patient's heart. Additionally, the programmer may suggest specific arrhythmia detection criteria and therapies to a physician based on an analysis of a patient's arrhythmia.
