Abstract:
1. A method for determining whether there is a correlation between arrhythmias and myocardial ischemic episodes experienced by a patient, comprising: using an implantable system to monitor for arrhythmias and to monitor for myocardial ischemic episodes; storing, within the implantable system, data indicative of detected arrhythmias and data indicative of detected myocardial ischemic episodes; communicating information regarding detected arrhythmias and detected myocardial ischemic episodes from the implantable system to an external device; for each detected arrhythmia, determining, based on the data, whether there was a myocardial ischemic episode detected within a specified time before the arrhythmia; and displaying on an external display an indicator that a detected arrhythmia and a detected myocardial ischemic episode occurred within the specified time of each other.
