ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus are provided for improving the detection of certain cardiac rhythms by combining dual chamber interval-related detection methods with electrogram morphology analysis. A prioritized set of rules are defined wherein each rule is directed at identifying a particular arrhythmia or type of arrhythmia. Each rule includes clauses that may be related to sensed event intervals and interval patterns and at least one rule includes at least one clause relating to the EGM morphology.
