ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulation device has an atrial detector that detects atrial events of a patient's heart, and a memory in which sequences of IEGM signals are stored, having a predetermined length, and an analyzing unit that analyzes the sequences to determine if the stored sequences contain atrial events having a lower amplitude than the current sensitivity setting of the atrial detector. A control unit is connected to the atrial detector to adjust the sensitivity setting thereof to a threshold that is determined based on the aforementioned analysis of the IEGM signals.
