Abstract
A system and method classify cardiac complexes based on cardiac information derived from two or more cardiac signals. Two or more cardiac signals containing cardiac complexes are monitored. A cardiac complex in the two or more cardiac signals is isolated in an analysis window. The morphology of the cardiac complex in each of the two or more cardiac signals is then compared to the morphology of a template cardiac complex representing a predetermined cardiac condition. Based on this comparison, the cardiac complex is classified as either belonging or not belonging to the predetermined cardiac condition.
