System and method for storing and displaying historical medical data measured by an implantable medical device

摘要

A system and method for acquiring medical data, integrating recently acquired medical data with previously acquired medical data, storing the integrated medical data, and displaying the integrated medical data to a medical practitioner in a convenient format appropriate for the type of data stored are provided. Recently acquired medical data are integrated with historical medical data in an implantable medical device programmer. The data may be initially displayed in graphical and text formats during a patient's follow-up visits. The historical medical data may be stored in the programmer, in the implantable medical device or both. Medical data may include physiologic data pertaining to the patient's medical condition, parametric data pertaining to the operational characteristics of the implantable medical device, identification data, including patient's background information, and comments including the medical practitioner's comments.
