Abstract
In a cardiac pacemaker, a monitoring window is defined during the a-v delay during which signals sensed in the ventricular channel are monitored. If an abnormal signal is sensed during this window, certain features of this signal are analyzed to determine its origin, such as PVC. If the signal cannot be categorized as a known signal, a safety pacing pulse is applied.
