Abstract

A medical device and method for detecting a ventricular arrhythmia event is disclosed. The medical device includes input circuitry configured to receive an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal and processing circuitry coupled to the input circuitry that is configured to identify fiducial points within the ECG signal. Feature extraction circuitry coupled to the processing circuitry is configured to determine interval variability between the fiducial points. Machine learning circuitry is coupled to the feature extraction circuitry and is configured to detect ventricular arrhythmia based on the interval variability between the fiducial points.
