Abstract
An implantable cardiac therapy device collects patient ECG and device status information, including cardiac event interval information, why therapy was or was not applied, and patient response to therapy, in connection with an arrhythmic episode and correlates such information in a data frame that may be stored for later telemetric transmission to an external instrument or that may be transmitted in real time to the external instrument. The data frame is decoded and parsed by the external instrument for presentation to an attending physician in a time correlated format.
