  • Detection of ventricular tachycardia in an active implantable medical device having an AAI operating mode
    Patent number: 7953483
    Abstract: An active implantable medical device, such as a pacemaker, cardioverter and/ or defibrillator of AAI or AAI/DDD type, with detection of ventricular tachycardiae. This device senses spontaneous ventricular and atrial events; delivers atrial pacing pulses; and is able to apply, after delivery of an atrial pacing pulse, concurrently with sensing ventricular events, a refractory period (PR) and a safety window (FS) of predetermined durations; and determining the beginning of a spontaneous ventricular cycle in response to sensing of a ventricular event out of the safety window (R0, R1, R2, R3).
    Type: Grant
