Abstract
A method for determining a representative noise floor in a cardiac pacing system from which future events are measured is provided. An event amplitude is determined. Pluralities of noise levels are recorded, when each of the plurality of noise levels is less than a predetermined percentage of the event amplitude. The noise floor is determined as an absolute maximum value of the plurality of recorded noise levels.
