Abstract

A method for operating a cardiac pacemaker in which paces and senses are counted during each cardiac cycle and associated with an R-R interval or other interval defining a cardiac cycle. An event frequency for each sense and pace is calculated which can be displayed as a histogram. The method is particularly suited for calculating such frequencies in resynchronization pacing modes.
