Discriminating between supraventricular and ventricular tachycardias from EGM onset analysis.

We hypothesize that the analysis of the ventricular electrogram onset (EGM onset) can discriminate between SVT and VT to obtain a simultaneous increase in sensitivity and specificity. We discuss our analysis of EGMs obtained during SVT and VT together with their preceding SRs in 38 SVT and 68 VT far...
