Abstract:
1. An implantable cardioverter/defibrillator (ICD), comprising: a pacing circuit configured to deliver atrial and ventricular pacing pulses; a defibrillation circuit configured to deliver ventricular defibrillation pulses; a cardiac sensing circuit configured to sense cardiac signals; a rate detector configured to detect an atrial rate and a ventricular rate using the cardiac signals; a tachyarrhythmia detection and classification circuit coupled to the rate detector, the tachyarrhythmia detection and classification circuit including: a controller, coupled to the pacing circuit, the defibrillation circuit, and the tachyarrhythmia detection and classification circuit, the controller configured to control the delivery of the atrial and ventricular pacing pulses and the ventricular defibrillation pulses, the controller including:
