Abstract
An implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker, stores information pertaining to a variety of events detected and/or triggered by the medical device for subsequent transmission to an external programmer device. The external programmer device displays graphical representations of the information under the control of a physician operating the programmer device. Examples of information stored by the pacemaker include information pertaining to operations triggered within the pacemaker as a result of the condition of the patient, such as an auto-mode switching event automatically triggered as a result of conditions detected within the heart, or as a result of the condition of the pacemaker itself, such as a battery test operation. Still other examples of information recorded by the pacemaker include information pertaining to programmer operations triggered by a remote programmer device, such as a heart base rate programming operation triggered by an external programmer.
