Techniques identify origins of ventricular arrhythmias (e.g., ventricular tachycardia or premature ventricular complexes) including exit sites or other sites using a single or multi-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) assembly. The ECG assembly is used to map an organ into a series of different three-dimensional (3D) regions. Pace maps or ventricular arrhythmia signals are used in form of ECG signals along with a supervised learning methods to pinpoint the potential origin of VT, i.e., exit sites, in the various regions.

Techniques are provided for overdrive pacing the ventricles using a pacemaker wherein an increase in an overdrive pacing rate is performed primarily to achieve a high degree of rate smoothing. The ventricles are paced at an overdrive pacing rate selected to permit the detection of the least some intrinsic ventricular pulses and then the overdrive pacing rate is dynamically adjusted based on the detected intrinsic ventricular pulses. In one example, an increase in the ventricular overdrive rate is performed only in response to detection of at least two intrinsic ventricular beats within a predetermined search period. If at least two intrinsic ventricular beats are not detected within the search period, the overdrive pacing rate is decreased. Various techniques are also provided for determining when to activate ventricular overdrive pacing depending, in part, on the capabilities of the particular pacemaker, the current mode of operation, the density of premature ventricular contractions, the degree of heart rate stability, and the presence of atrial fibrillation. Adaptive techniques for automatically adjusting ventricular overdrive pacing control parameters are also described.

A method of mapping arrhythmic activity, such as premature ventricular contraction (“PVC”) activity, using an electroanatomical mapping system includes defining at least two arrhythmia template signals. Electrophysiology data points, each including an electrophysiological signal, are collected. A morphological similarity between the electrophysiological signal and a first arrhythmia template signal is computed; if this exceeds a preset threshold, then the electrophysiology data point is added to a corresponding arrhythmia map. If it does not, a morphological similarity between the electrophysiological signal and a second arrhythmia template signal is computed. If this exceeds the preset threshold, then the electrophysiology data point is added to a corresponding arrhythmia map. If neither exceeds the preset threshold, then the electrophysiology data point can be used to establish an additional arrhythmia map by defining an additional arrhythmia template signal.

An implantable cardiac stimulation device and associated method perform a true or blanking period ventricular undersensing detection algorithm in response to ventricular loss of capture not associated with fusion or a change in capture threshold. The test identifies an originating cause of loss of capture, which may be ventricular undersensing of intrinsic R-waves or premature ventricular contractions occurring during a ventricular blanking period or atrial undersensing of P-waves resulting in blanking period ventricular undersensing. A corrective action is taken to reduce the likelihood of blanking period ventricular undersensing by automatically adjusting device operating parameters. The corrective action may include automatic adjustment of atrial sensitivity, shortening of the ventricular blanking period, or adjustment of the base stimulation rate. Minimizing the blanking period ventricular undersensing improves device performance by avoiding back-up stimulation and minimizing the risk of pacemaker competition-induced arrhythmias.
