1. A system for delivering shocks to a heart, the system comprising:

  • a programmer adapted to communicate with a defibrillator and identify one or more detection enhancements from a plurality of predetermined detection enhancements for each clinical rhythm selected from a plurality of predetermined clinical rhythms, the plurality of predetermined detection enhancements including first detection enhancements for determining whether to inhibit a shock therapy and a second detection enhancement for bypassing a decision of one or more of the first detection enhancements to inhibit the shock therapy in response to a ventricular rate being greater than an atrial rate, the programmer including;

    a selection module adapted to display the plurality of predetermined clinical rhythms and to allow a selection of one or more clinical rhythms from the plurality of predetermined clinical rhythms;

    a parameter modification module coupled to the selection module, the parameter modification module adapted to store one or more parameters of the one or more detection enhancements associated with the selected one or more clinical rhythms; and

    a communication module coupled to the selection module and the parameter modification module, the communication module adapted to program the one or more parameters into a medical device.
