Techniques are described for distinguishing between treatable and non-treatable heart rhythms. A medical device that operates in accordance with the techniques analyzes characteristics over several cardiac event intervals to detect initiation of a sudden rate onset. After detection of the initiation of the sudden rate onset, the IMD analyzes a morphology of an EGM associated with a selected cardiac event within the first several beats after the initiation of sudden rate onset. In one example, the IMD analyzes the morphology of the EGM associated with the first cardiac event immediately subsequent to the initiation of the sudden rate onset. If the morphology of the EGM of the selected cardiac event is abnormal compared to template EGM, the rhythm is classified as treatable. Otherwise, the rhythm is classified as non-treatable.

摘要:
A medical device and associated method for discriminating cardiac events sense cardiac signals that includes determining whether a first match score is within one of a first match zone corresponding to a first cardiac event, and a second match zone corresponding to the first cardiac event, and determining whether a second match score is within one of the first match zone, the second match zone, and a third match zone corresponding to a second cardiac event different from the first cardiac event. One of increasing and decreasing an event counter is performed in response to both the determination of whether the first match score is within one of the first match zone and the second match zone and the determination of whether the second match score is within one of the first match zone, the second match zone, and the third match zone.
