<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an implantable antiarrhytmia device, detecting and classifying the arrhytmias of the human heart, and delivering appropriate therapy. <P>SOLUTION: This device adopts a method of arrhytmia classification based on a set of prioritized rules, each of the rules defining a plurality of criteria based upon characteristics of sensed depolarizations of heat tissue. Each rule is met when the criteria associated with the rule are met. Some rules, when met, trigger delivery of antiarrhytmia therapy. Other rules, when met, inhibit deliver of antiarrhytmia therapy. The rules may be met simultaneously, and if so, the highest priority rule governs the behavior of the device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
