Claim Text:
1. A method to distinguish pacemaker-mediated tachycardia (PMT) from tracking of sinus or atrial tachycardia (AT) comprising: analyzing, using a processor, a response to an extension of a post-ventricular atrial refractory period (PVARP), by classifying the response into responsive patterns including a V-A-V response, a V-A-A-Vs response and a V-A-A-Vp response; determining, using the processor, a mechanism of a tachycardia based at least upon the classifying; and providing an alert of the outcome of the determining of the mechanism, wherein a mechanism of a tachycardia is determined as atrial or sinus tachycardia when the response is classified as a V-A-V response, wherein a mechanism of a tachycardia is determined as PMT when the response is classified as a V-A-A-Vs response, and wherein when the response is classified as a V-A-A-Vp response, the method further comprises:
