Abstract
Apparatus and method for treating an arrhythmia in a patient using an electrotherapy device. The device applies a series of electrotherapy pulses in response to the presence of the arrhythmia. In one aspect, indicia of movement by the patient is sensed, and an inference is made whether the movement is an evoked response to the administration of the electrotherapy pulses. Application of subsequent electrotherapy pulses is adjusted in response to an inference of the evoked response constituting discomfort of the patient.
