Abstract
An implantable heart therapy device connected to at least one right-ventricular electrode and one left-ventricular electrode that sense and stimulate the heart. The at least one right-ventricular and left-ventricular electrodes are each connected to a tachycardia identification unit, wherein the identification unit identifies ventricular tachycardias, and simultaneously evaluates the heart rate at the right-ventricular and at the left-ventricular electrodes. The implantable heart therapy device includes a right-ventricular stimulation unit that delivers antitachycardia stimulation to the right-ventricular electrode, a left-ventricular stimulation unit that delivers antitachycardia stimulation to the left-ventricular electrode, and a therapy control unit that assigns the stimulation location for the antitachycardia stimulation to the slower ventricle side if a dissimilar tachycardia is present.
