ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator system and method are provided having configurable shock therapies selected based on an evaluation of the atrial rhythm status following a ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation detection. A dual chamber shock configuration is selected if the ventricular arrhythmia is co-existing with an atrial arrhythmia of recent onset. A ventricular only shock configuration is selected if the ventricular arrhythmia is co-existing with a sustained atrial arrhythmia.
