Patent Issued for AV nodal stimulation during atrial tachyarrhythmia to prevent inappropriate therapy delivery (USPTO 11890481).

Medtronic Inc. has been issued a patent for AV nodal stimulation during atrial tachyarrhythmia to prevent inappropriate therapy delivery. The patent describes a method and system for delivering electrical stimulation to block the atrioventricular node of the heart during an atrial tachyarrhythmia episode with rapid ventricular conduction. This helps distinguish ventricular tachyarrhythmia from supraventricular tachycardia and prevents delivering inappropriate therapy to a patient. The patent provides detailed descriptions of various methods, systems, and components involved in this process. [Extracted from the article]
