Abstract :
With the increasing flexibility allowed by implantable cardioverter/defibrillators, it is becoming possible to match the therapy with the arrhythmia. In this paper we examine the effects of using a short observation time on two previously proposed algorithms for automatically discriminating ventricular fibrillation from monomorphic ventricular tachycardia
