Abstract
A method and device for delivering anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) therapy that includes an electrode to sense cardiac signals and to deliver the therapy, sensing circuitry, electrically coupled to the electrode, to detect the tachycardia event in response to the sensed cardiac signals, and a processor to control delivery of the therapy. The processor determines adjustments to the delivered therapy, the adjustments being linearly dependent on characteristics of the tachycardia event
Claims22
A medical device for delivering a therapy for terminating a tachycardia event, comprising:
- an electrode to sense cardiac signals and to deliver the therapy;
- sensing circuitry, electrically coupled to the electrode, to detect the tachycardia event in response to the sensed cardiac signals;
- and
- a processor to control delivery of the therapy, wherein the processor determines adjustments to the delivered therapy, the adjustments being linearly dependent on characteristics of the tachycardia event.
