ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulation device provides accelerated delivery of defibrillation therapy to a patient's heart. The device includes a sensing circuit that provides right and left heart cardiac activity signals and a detector that detects an accelerated arrhythmia of the patient's heart and establishes a plurality of accelerated cardiac rate zones including a fibrillation rate zone and at least one intermediate rate zone. A classifier responsive to the right and left heart cardiac activity signals classifies an accelerated arrhythmia as one of fibrillation and tachycardia responsive to the detector detecting an accelerated arrhythmia having a cardiac rate within the at least one intermediate rate zones. A therapy circuit applies defibrillation to the heart responsive to the classifier classifying an accelerated arrhythmia as fibrillation and anti-tachycardia pacing to the heart responsive to the classifier classifying an accelerated arrhythmia as tachycardia.
