Title:
HISTORY-DEPENDENT PACING INTERVAL DETERMINATION FOR ANTITACHYCARDIA PACING
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004098706
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A method and device (10) 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 (10) is directed to determining an estimate of action potential duration of a heart (12) that experiences episodes of atrial or ventricular tachycardia for use in determining a pacing interval (112) for anti-tachycardia pacing pulses (114) that may more effectively terminate the tachycardia.
