Abstract:
1. A cardiac rhythm management system comprising: an implantable medical device capable of delivering cardiac pacing therapy and sensing EGM signals and producing EGM waveform data, the IMD being programmed to perform cardiac pacing threshold testing, during which test data including EGM waveform data is obtained; an external monitor communicating with the implantable medical device by telemetry and initiating the implantable medical device to perform the pacing threshold testing and receiving the test data including the obtained EGM waveform data; and a computer remote from the external monitor operatively connected to the monitor and causing the monitor to initiate the implantable medical device to perform the threshold testing and receiving the test data from including the obtained EGM waveform data from the monitor wherein said initiating can be performed automatically and remotely.
