ABSTRACT:
The invention is for a method for predicting an imminent episode of ventricular tachyarrhythmia by an analysis of the variations in the heart beat frequency during otherwise normal appearing sinus rhythm in the normal beat frequency range. The analysis is based on detecting a prolonged pattern of increasing heart beat rate. When the method is implemented by hardware it can initiate, or cause to be initiated, preventive therapies. A further implementation can cause the patient or attendant to be notified of imminent ventricular tachyarrhythmia. Both implantable and external devices are considered.
