    Abstract: A method and medical device for detecting a cardiac event that includes sensing cardiac signals from a plurality of electrodes forming a first sensing vector sensing a first interval of the cardiac signal during a predetermined time period and a second sensing vector simultaneously sensing a second interval of the cardiac signal during the predetermined time period, identifying each of the first interval and the second interval as being one of shockable and not shockable in response to first processing of the first interval and the second interval and in response to second processing of one or both of the first interval and the second interval, the second processing being different from the first processing, and determining whether to deliver therapy for the cardiac event in response to identifying each of the first interval and the second interval as being one of shockable and not shockable in response to both the first processing and the second processing of the first interval and the second interval.

    Abstract: A medical device system and associated method predict a patient response to a cardiac therapy. The system includes for delivering cardiac pacing pulses to a patient's heart coupled to a cardiac sensing module and a cardiac pacing module for generating cardiac pacing pulses and controlling delivery of the pacing pulses at multiple pace parameter settings. An acoustical sensor obtains heart sound signals. A processor is enabled to receive the heart sound signals, derive a plurality of heart sound signal parameters from the heart sound signals, and determine a trend of each of the plurality of heart sound signal parameters with respect to the plurality of pace parameter settings. An external display is configured to present the trend of at least one heart sound parameter with respect to the plurality of pace parameter settings.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for discriminating SVT and, in particular, rapidly conducting AF. The techniques include detecting an onset of a fast rate of ventricular events sensed from a cardiac electrical signal and detecting a pause in the fast rate of ventricular sensed events. A threshold number of ventricular event intervals required to detect a ventricular tachyarrhythmia is detected with each of the threshold number of ventricular event intervals being less than a tachyarrhythmia detection interval. Detection of the ventricular tachyarrhythmia and an electrical stimulation therapy for treating the ventricular tachyarrhythmia are withheld in response to at least the pause being detected.
