Abstract
In an apparatus and a method for use in setting a sensing parameter of an implantable medical device (IMD) of a patient, cardiac data corresponding to a cardiac episode experienced by the patient is obtained from a sensing electrode associated with the IMD. At the time the cardiac data is obtained, the IMD is operated at a first setting of the sensing parameter. Based upon this cardiac data, a simulation is performed of cardiac event identification if the IMD were operated at a different setting of the sensing parameter. The simulated cardiac event identification performance of the IMD is then reported.
