Claim Text:
1. A cardiac rhythm management system including a programmable cardiac rhythm management device having data collection devices for collecting ambulatory patient data, the system comprising: a. a programming parameter module for storing programmable parameters for the device, wherein each parameter has a predefined set of possible values, wherein one programmable parameter is a delay value; b. an optimization module adapted to optimize pace timing and determine a recommended delay value based on the ambulatory patient data, wherein the optimization module is configured to store one or more change constraints that restrict an amount of increment and decrement changes in the programmed delay value during each optimization session; c. a parameter interaction module adapted for storing parameter interaction constraints between different programmable parameters; d. a user input device adapted to receive values from a user for a user-set delay range, wherein the user-set delay range provides outer limits of a programmed delay value, wherein the user input device is configured to allow the user to overwrite the one or more change constraints; e. a user display device adapted to present an input screen to the user, wherein the input screen comprises user-set delay range input fields; and f. a seeding module adapted to calculate initial seed values for the user-set delay range input fields, wherein the seed values do not violate any parameter interaction constraints and maximize the difference between ends of the user-set delay range; wherein the cardiac rhythm management device is configured to be implanted in a patient, wherein the patient data includes heart rate and at least a portion of an intracardiac electrogram, wherein the data collection devices include one or more electrodes, and wherein the cardiac rhythm management device is configured to provide therapy to a patient by delivering electrical stimuli to the patient via the one or more electrodes, wherein the electrical stimuli is delivered to the patient in a manner determined by the programmable parameters.
