Active implantable medical device of the implantable defibrillator/cardioverter type having means for detecting post-therapy sinus tachycardia

摘要

The implant has means to capture ventricular and auricular activity and to detect periods of tachycardia. The tachycardias are analyses (14) and a series of diagnostic tests (16,18,24,26,28,) are applied to determine the type of tachycardia present. The tests are used in conjunction with an indicator (20,30,32) which shows if a therapy has already been applied and this enables post-therapy sinusal tachycardias to be detected.
