"Supraventricular tachyarrhythmia discrimination" was invented by Xusheng Zhang (Shoreview, Minn.) and Jian Cao (Shoreview, Minn.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Techniques are described for discriminating SVT and, in particular, rapidly conducting AF. The techniques include detecting an onset of a fast rate of ventricular events sensed from a cardiac electrical signal and detecting a pause in the fast rate of ventricular sensed events. A threshold number of ventricular event intervals required to detect a ventricular tachyarrhythmia is detected with each of the thr...
