ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for discriminating between cardiac events that includes an input circuit receiving signals indicative of the cardiac events, a first output circuit generating pulses in response to the received signals, and a microprocessor determining whether a signal received by the input circuit subsequent to the generated pacing pulses corresponds to a predetermined cardiac event in response to an elapsed time period between the generated pulses and the subsequently received signal and a predetermined discrimination threshold.
