Abstract
Methods and devices adapted for cardiac signal analysis. A method or device has accessible to it more than one approach to cardiac cycle rate analysis and is adapted to monitor sensing signal quality. In response to an apparent reduction in signal quality or other trigger, the method or device checks whether an arrhythmia or an actual drop in signal quality is occurring prior to modifying sensing configurations or parameters.
