Abstract
Methods and systems for selecting tachyarrhythmia therapy based on the morphological organization level of the arrhythmia are described. Morphological organization levels of arrhythmias are associated with cardiac therapies. The morphological organization levels are related to cardiac signal morphologies of the arrhythmias. An arrhythmia episode is detected and the morphological organization level of the arrhythmia episode is determined. A cardiac therapy associated with the morphological organization level of the arrhythmia episode is delivered to treat the arrhythmia. For example, the morphological organization levels may be associated with the cardiac therapies based on one or more of retrospective database analysis, patient therapy tolerance, and physician input. The associations may be static or may be dynamically adjusted based on therapy efficacy.
