摘要：
A method for predicting the outcome of arrhythmia therapy in a subject in need thereof comprises the steps of: (a) detecting an arrhythmia in the heart of a subject; (b) delivering a first arrhythmia therapy pulse to the heart of the subject; and then (c) determining the presence or absence of overlapping cycles in the heart of the subject, the presence of overlapping cycles indicating that the first arrythmia therapy pulse did not successfully treat the arrythmia. Overlapping cycles are preferably determined through the calculation of an overlapping cycles index (OCI). Apparatus (12) for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
