ABSTRACT:
Receiving an action potential signal associated with a myocardial contraction sensed at a myocardial site, receiving an action potential signal associated with the myocardial contraction sensed at a different myocardial site, comparing a common characteristics of each of the action potential signals wherein the common characteristics relates to at least one member selected from the group consisting of depolarization of tissue at the myocardial sites and repolarization of tissue at the myocardial sites, and, based on the comparing, deciding whether to call for anti-arrhythmia therapy.
