1. A system for monitoring cardiac arrhythmia in a patient, comprising:
an arrhythmia detector circuit, configured to:
receive arrhythmia detection criteria including a first detection criterion and a second detection criterion having a higher sensitivity to a cardiac arrhythmia than the first detection criterion;
detect an arrhythmia episode from a physiologic signal using the second detection criterion; and
for the detected arrhythmia episode, determine a detection indicator indicating a likelihood of the detected arrhythmia episode satisfying the first detection criterion; and
a controller circuit configured to initiate data transmission between two devices according to the detection indicator, including to:
initiate an automatic transmission of the detected arrhythmia episode if the detection indicator indicates that the detected arrhythmia episode satisfies the first detection criterion; and
initiate a commanded transmission of the detected arrhythmia episode in response to a user command if the detection indicator indicates that the detected arrhythmia episode does not satisfy the first detection criterion.
