ABSTRACT:
For detecting tachyarrhythmia of the heart, the partial pressure of gases physically dissolved in the blood is measured, preferably the partial oxygen pressure pO.sub.2, and a fast variation and/or a variation of the measured partial pressure pO.sub.2 that exceeds a prescribed degree is utilized as a criterion for the detection of a tachyarrhythmia. An apparatus for treating tachyarrhythmia of the heart operating according to the above method includes a sensor for identifying the partial pressure of gases dissolved in the blood, an evaluation unit supplied with the sensor output for recognizing rapid changes of the partial pressure or changes of the partial pressure that exceed a prescribed degree, the output of the evaluation unit being connected to circuitry for triggering the tachyarrhythmia treatment.
