ABSTRACT:
An arrhythmia control system and method having automatic determination of the tachycardia confirmation interval. The interval is dynamically set at the minimum of an absolute detection interval and a value calculated as a function of either average sinus interval or tachycardia cycle length or both. The continued presence or the reversion of a pathologic tachycardia can be reliably confirmed, particularly when the patient experiences an elevated heart rate due to, for example, exercise, prior to onset of the tachycardia.
