Abstract
Computer implemented methods and implantable medical devices (IMD) are provided that obtain cardiac activity (CA) signals for a cardiac beat and compare the CA signals to a sensitivity level to detect a sensed event. One or more processors are configured to change the sensitivity level, utilized by the sensing circuitry, over the cardiac beat based on an adaptive sensitivity profile. The adaptive sensitivity profile has a maximum sensitivity limit (MSL). The process determines whether a characteristic of interest (COI) from a candidate event satisfies criteria relative to the COI for a collection of prior sensed events, declares the candidate event to be a valid sensed event or a false sensed event based on the determine operation; and adjusts the maximum sensitivity limit based on when the COI from the candidate event satisfies the criteria to provide adaptive sensing of CA signals.
