ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for treating tachycardias are disclosed which utilize tachycardia cycle lengths in connection with selecting the type of antitachycardia pacing to be used in such treatment. A range of tachycardia cycle lengths is selected for which antitachycardia pacing treatment is indicated. This range is divided into a plurality of sub-ranges of tachycardia cycle lengths, and corresponding storage locations are established for each of the tachycardia cycle length sub-ranges. Antitachycardia pacing parameters which have been successful in reverting previous tachycardias are stored in their corresponding storage locations, and subsequent tachycardias are treated using antitachycardia pacing parameters selected from storage locations that correspond to, or are closest to correspondence with, the storage locations corresponding to the tachycardias to be treated.
