ABSTRACT:
An arrangement10for predicting tachyarrhythmia of a heart has a detection means12and an evaluation unit18. The detection means12picks up electrical signals from the heart. The evaluation unit18, which is connected to the detection means, determines a rate value that depends upon the respective heart rate. The evaluation unit also evaluate a plurality of correspondingly determined rates values, to determine a heart rate variability value that depends on the variability of the detected rate values, wherein the evaluation unit18responds to a rise in the heart rate variability value.
