Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for analyzing occurrences of atrial arrhythmias. Occurrences of each of a number of classified atrial arrhythmia rhythms are detected. The classified atrial arrhythmias may, for example, include at least atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter. A duration of time associated with each of the detected atrial arrhythmia rhythms is measured. Trend data is produced with respect to a predetermined period of time using all or selected ones of the measured time durations. The detecting, measuring, and producing processes may also be performed for one or more unclassified atrial arrhythmias.
