an acoustic sensor;
at least one therapy electrode; and
at least one processor coupled with the acoustic sensor and the ECG electrodes and configured to
receive at least one electrical signal from the ECG electrodes,
detect a pattern within the at least one electrical signal that is consistent with the patient experiencing VT,
receive at least one signal from the acoustic sensor,
determine whether the patient is experiencing VT or SVT based at least on the at least one signal from the acoustic sensor, and
execute, in response to a determination that the patient is experiencing VT, a defibrillation sequence to treat the patient via the at least one therapy electrode.
