| 1. An apparatus for use in selecting a setting of a sensing parameter of an implantable medical device (IMD) for a patient,
the apparatus comprising:
means for obtaining, from a sensing electrode associated with the IMD, cardiac data corresponding to a cardiac episode experienced
by the patient, wherein the IMD is operated at a first setting of the sensing parameter when the cardiac data is obtained;
means for simulating, based upon the cardiac data, cardiac event identification if the IMD were operated at a second setting
of the sensing parameter different than the first setting without reprogramming the sensing parameter to the second setting;
and
means for reporting the simulated cardiac event identification performance of the IMD.
