R-Wave Trend

This is the sensitivity of the ventricles displayed over time. The R-wave trend is displayed in the form of a line chart. The R- wave trend is a rolling, long-term trend with a fixed resolution of 36 hours. Therefore, the 240 time windows with 36 hour recording periods result in actual recordings of approximately one year. The R-wave trend can record amplitudes from 0.0 to 20 mV. In the Stratos LV, the specific RV and LV amplitudes are shown in trends of different colors. The R-wave trend is available in all modes that sense in the ventricle, except triggered modes DDI(R)/T, DVT(R), VDT(R) and VVT(R).

Impedance Trend

The atrial and ventricular impedances are measured in the Stratos CRT-Ps and both values are displayed in the impedance trend in the form of a line chart. The impedance trend is a long-term trend with a fixed resolution of 36 hours per window. Therefore, the 240 possible windows, each with 36 hour recording periods, result in an actual recording time of approximately one year. This recording only occurs in paced events.

After approximately one year of recording, the impedance trend begins to roll. The impedance can also be recorded in the left atrial and left ventricular channel. The values of the impedance trend lie between 0 to 10k Ω. The atrial and both ventricular channels are shown as different colored trends.
