Development of arrhythmia diagnosis algorithm for effective control of antitachycardia pacing and high energy shock of ICD.
In this paper, we propose a modified arrhythmia diagnosis and therapy control algorithm based on VENTAK PRIZM 2 algorithm of the Guidant corp. Existing arrhythmia detection and therapy control algorithms control arrhythmia through two steps. First step is event detection using peak-to-peak interval detection, and the second step is duration detection. We modify these stages to improve diagnosis time delay and treatment efficiency.
