ABSTRACT:
A method and device for delivering anti-tachycardia pacing pulses that may be used to treat episodes of atrial or ventricular tachycardia. Episodes of atrial or ventricular tachycardia can occur while the heart is at a normal rhythm or an accelerated rhythm. The method and device is directed to determining an estimate of action potential duration of a heart that experiences episodes of atrial or ventricular tachycardia for use in determining a pacing interval for anti-tachycardia pacing pulses that may more effectively terminate the tachycardia.
