Systems and methods are provided for displaying statistical distributions
of cardiac events. According to one aspect, a programmer device is provided that
generally comprises circuitry for communicating with a medical device, and a display.
The medical device collects data regarding cardiac events occurring at two or more
sites, and the display provides a histogram of the data as two or more statistical
distributions for the two or more sites. In one embodiment, the data includes both
sensed intrinsic cardiac events and paced cardiac events. And in another embodiment,
the histogram generally comprises a plurality of histogram bins that provide statistical
distributions for the cardiac events. Each of the histogram bins generally includes
a portion of a first cardiac event distribution and a portion of a second cardiac
event distribution. In one embodiment, the portions of the first cardiac event
distribution and the portions of the second cardiac event distribution are adjacent
to each other in each histogram bin. In one embodiment, the first and second cardiac
event distributions include right ventricular and left ventricular cardiac event
distributions. According to other aspects, a method, a system, a histogram, a display,
and a software program for providing a cardiac event graph are also provided herein.
