16.3. VENTRICULAR TACHYARRHYTHMIA
MANAGEMENT
Ventricular tachyarrhythmia prevention: Set of algorithms that
can be used to avoid the circumstances of ventricular
tachyarrhythmia onset.
Searching for a long cycle (P And R based Arrhythmia
Detection+: PARAD+): Additional arrhythmia classification
criterion to improve identification of atrial fibrillation and avoid
inappropriate shocks.
Fast VT treatment: Applies detection criteria on fast ventricular
tachycardiathat are different from those of the VT zone, as well as
different therapies. The fast VT zone is included in the VF zone: its
lower limit is determined by the programmed value for the VF zone
and its upper limit by the programmed value for the fast VT zone.
Polarity alternation on Max shock: Reverses the programmed
polarity of every second shock set at maximum energy. The number,
type, and energy of shocks is independently programmable by
detection zone.
