Claim One:
1. A method comprising: obtaining a plurality of parameters associated with a rhythm of a heart of a patient; obtaining probabilities that the rhythm is indicative of one of ventricular tachycardia (VT) or ventricular fibrillation (VF) based on each of the plurality of parameters individually; obtaining correlations between each of the parameters and other remaining ones of the plurality of parameters; and determining whether the rhythm is indicative of one of VT or VF based at least on the probabilities and correlations wherein determining whether the rhythm is indicative of one of VT or VF based on the probabilities and correlations comprises: obtaining independent contribution coefficients associated with each of parameters using the correlations, wherein the independent contribution coefficients represent the independent contribution of the particular parameter to the overall probability that the rhythm is indicative of one of VT or VF; determining an overall probability that the rhythm is treatable by multiplying each of the probabilities by the corresponding one of the independent contribution coefficients to obtain weighted probabilities and summing the weighted probabilities; determining whether the rhythm is indicative of one of VT or VF based at least on the overall probability that the rhythm is indicative of one of VT or VF.
