摘要:
An implantable or ambulatory medical device can include a cardiac signal sensing circuit configured to provide a sensed cardiac depolarization signal of a heart of a subject, a respiration sensing circuit configured to provide a signal representative of respiration of the subject, and a control circuit communicatively coupled to the cardiac signal sensing circuit and the respiration circuit. The control circuit includes a tachyarrhythmia detection circuit configured to determine heart rate using the depolarization signal, determine a respiration parameter of the subject using the respiration signal, calculate a ratio using the determined heart rate and the determined respiration parameter, generate an indication of tachyarrhythmia when the calculated ratio satisfies a specified detection ratio threshold value, and provide the indication of tachyarrhythmia to a user or process.
