A device for detection and treatment of tachycardias, which is able to selectively identify the occurence of re-entrant AV nodal tachycardia, and to distinguish it from sinus tachycardias. The apparatus monitors the occurence of atrial and ventricular depolarizations during a detected tachycardia, and, in the event that a series of ventricular depolarizations occur which are each closely preceded or closely followed by an atrial depolarization, at an interval substantially less than would be expected in the case of a sinus tachycardia, re-entrant AV nodal tachycardia is identified, and an appropriate therapy regimen is triggered.
L'invention concerne un dispositif de détection et de traitement des tachycardies capable d'identifier sélectivement l'apparition d'une tachycardie nodale auriculo-ventriculaire réentrante et de la distinguer des tachycardies sinusales. L'appareil surveille l'apparition de dépolarisations auriculaires et ventriculaires au cours d'une tachycardie détectée et, en cas de série de dépolarisations ventriculaires précédés ou suivie de près d'une dépolarisation auriculaire, à une fréquence sensiblement inférieure à celle attandue dans le cas d'une tachycardie sinusale, une tachycardie nodale AV réentrante est identifiée et un schéma thérapeutique approprié est appliqué.
