Abstract
An active implantable medical device of the multisite defibrillator/cardioverter type having a sophisticated management of ventricular tachycardias. This device delivers a one of a defibrillation and/or cardioversion and/or ventricular antitachycardia pacing ('ATP') stimulation therapy mode, as desired and known in the art. The device senses the cardiac activity and detects in the sensed activity a disorder of the ventricular rhythm that is distinct from a ventricular fibrillation condition. The device also includes delivery of biventricular stimulation, connected to at least two ventricular sites, right and left, which is triggered on the detection of the aforesaid disorder of the ventricular rhythm prior to delivering the conventional ATP or shock therapy mode.
