Abstract
An implantable monitor and method to acquire, store, and display physiological data for the diagnosis of vasovagal syncope or intermittent cardiac arrhythmias. Physiological data monitored preferably comprises heart rate, blood pressure, and body posture. Physiological signals are monitored until detection of an event that triggers the storage of data. A storage-triggering event may be a maximum or minimum heart rate or blood pressure, a dramatic change in heart rate or blood pressure, or a patient-activated signal. In one embodiment, confirmed detection of vasovagal syncope by the monitor causes a telemetric command to enable a syncope therapy. Storage of physiologic data is triggered by predetermined arrhythmia or syncope detection criteria and appropriate stimulation therapy for the detected condition may be enabled.
