Abstract
Methods and devices for cardiac therapy. One example provides a subcutaneous anti-tachycardia pacing therapy. Another example provides a subcutaneous low energy cardioversion therapy. Yet another example provides a subcutaneous multiple pulse cardioversion therapy. In various examples, specific steps are taken to ensure synchronization of delivered therapy when provided in response to sensing and analysis of a subcutaneous signal. Some examples use a substernal device instead.
