ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for automatically identifying various types of cardiac and non-cardiac oversensing is provided. EGM data, including time intervals between sensed and paced events and signal morphologies, are analyzed for patterns indicative of various types of oversensing, including oversensing of far-field R-waves, R-waves, T-waves, or noise associated with electromagnetic interference, non-cardiac myopotentials, a lead fracture, or a poor lead connection. Identification of oversensing and its suspected cause are reported so that corrective action may be taken.
