Abstract
A medical device having a motion sensor is configured to sense a motion signal, generate ventricular pacing pulses in a non-atrial tracking ventricular pacing mode and detect atrial event signals from the motion signal during the non-atrial tracking ventricular pacing mode. The medical device may be configured to determine atrial event intervals from the detected atrial event signals, determine a frequency distribution of the determined atrial event intervals and determine an atrial rate based on the frequency distribution of the detected atrial event intervals.
