1. A cardiac rhythm management system, including:

  • a sensing module for detecting conditioning events statistically associated with occurrences of arrhythmias; and

    , an arrhythmia prediction module for predicting the occurrence of an arrhythmia within a specified prediction time period if an estimated arrhythmia probability exceeds a specified threshold value, wherein the estimated arrhythmia probability is computed from a conditional arrhythmia probability associated with the conditioning event that is derived from past observations of instances in which the conditioning event occur s alone or together with an arrhythmia within a specified time period.
