Patent ID: 7706867

Claim:
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; for each detected arrhythmia, determining, based on the data, whether there was a myocardial ischemic episode detected within a specified temporal proximity of the arrhythmia; displaying a log of detected arrhythmias that indicates, for each arrhythmia, whether there was a myocardial ischemic episode detected within the specified temporal proximity of the arrhythmia; allowing a user to select one of the arrhythmias from the log; and when a myocardial ischemic event was detected within the specified temporal proximity to the selected arrhythmia, displaying information about the selected arrhythmia and the myocardial ischemic episode.
