Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for collecting enhanced diagnostic information specifically pertaining to overdrive pacing within an implantable cardiac stimulation device and for processing and displaying the enhanced diagnostic information using an external programmer. The enhanced diagnostic information includes one or more of overdrive pacing efficacy, overdrive pacing percentage, overdrive pacing/heart rate histogram data, longest recovery duration, atrial event data, minimum/maximum/average of the overdrive pacing rate, number of paced beats at maximum rate, duration of recovery time from maximum rate, intrinsic rate breakthrough histogram data, and number of rate increases. By tracking and displaying the enhanced diagnostic information, a physician can thereby more effectively and reliably program overdrive pacing control parameters to achieve optimal overdrive pacing performance.
