Anti-tachyarrhythmia system with unified atrial tachyarrhythmia rate threshold
First Claim
1. A system for programming an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) including a plurality of functional modules using a plurality of atrial tachyarrhythmia rate thresholds, each functional module of the plurality of functional modules configured to perform a tachyarrhythmia classification or therapy control function using an atrial rate and an atrial tachyarrhythmia rate threshold of the plurality of atrial tachyarrhythmia rate thresholds, the system comprising:
- a telemetry circuit configured to communicate with the ICD;
a user interface including;
a presentation device configured to present the tachyarrhythmia classification or therapy control functions to be performed by the plurality of functional modules using a unified threshold value for the plurality of atrial tachyarrhythmia rate thresholds and to present the unified threshold value; and
a user input device configured to receive the unified threshold value and to allow adjustment of the presented unified threshold value; and
a controller coupled to the telemetry circuit and the user interface, the controller configured to program the ICD by transmitting the unified threshold value to the ICD.

Abstract
A cardiac rhythm management (CRM) system includes an implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and an external system. The ICD includes a plurality of functional modules performing tachyarrhythmia classification and therapy control functions using atrial tachyarrhythmia rate thresholds that are set to a unified value. In one embodiment, the CRM system allows a user to activate and deactivate each of the functional modules and program the unified value using the external system.
