Abstract
Event/rate data gathered by an implantable pacemaker is displayed in a histogram format as a function of heart rate and event type, with multiple events being included in the display of each rate bin of the histogram. Event types include a paced event, a sensed event, or a premature ventricular event (PVE). Two types of histograms are provided: (1) a heart rate histogram that shows the occurrence of each event type in each heart rate bin as a function of the percent of total events in all heart rate bins; and (2) a histogram that shows event type distribution by rate bin.
