PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an interactive event timeline system and method. A plurality of events and / or signal indicators are captured during a medical procedure such as a cardiac surgery. Event data associated with cardiac surgery may include tags, user-generated points, ablation events, pacing events, and other similar events. An interactive event timeline is generated from the captured events and displayed on the visual display. This interactive event timeline is associated with the vertical list of events and the selected event viewer. All three views may be displayed simultaneously. The interactive event timeline allows a physician or user (generally referred to as a "user") to view temporal relationships between captured events. The user can, for example, view simultaneous events, long versus short events, continuous events, and specific event types. [Selected figure] Figure 1 |
