ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for detecting, identifying and treating tachyarrhythmias. Tachyarrhythmias are detected and identified by the use of overlapping ranges of intervals. Provisional identification of tachyarrhythmia is accomplished by measuring and tracking intervals within two overlapping or adjacent interval ranges. Further classification and identification of tachyarrhythmias is accomplished by determining the relative numbers of intervals within a preceding series falling within a third interval range, overlapping one or both of the other interval ranges. In response to identification of the tachyarrhythmia, an appropriate therapy is selected and delivered.
