Abstract
A patient-implantable cardiac stimulation apparatus adapted to measure body impedance, derive at least one physiological parameter from the impedance measurement, sample a time sequence of the physiological parameter and transmit the sequence to an external monitoring device for display and analysis. The apparatus may also sense intracardiac electrograms while it is measuring body impedance and deriving the physiological parameter, in which case it formats and transmits a combined intracardiac electrogram and physiological signal to the monitoring device.
