Stored data in implantable pacemakers have rarely been used as a diagnostic tool because of the complexity. Our group has developed software called AIDA, providing an automatic interpretation of data stored in memories of the Chorus (ELA medical) pacemaker. We compared the results of AIDA analysis to surface ECG Holter interpretation in 59 patients (age 75 +/- 9 years). In 33 cases, neither AIDA nor the Holter found any anomaly. Eleven patients demonstrated episodes of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), confirmed by AIDA in ten patients; AIDA failure was due to nonsustained episodes of SVT not inducing mode switch. Loss of atrial sensing, pacemaker-mediated tachycardia, and ventricular extrasystoles were detected by AIDA in ten patients. Traditional Holter missed three cases. This initial study confirms that stored pacemaker data, automatically interpreted can provide reliable information over a 24-hour period.
