Abstract
An implantable cardiac stimulation system and associated method automatically adjust a pre-ventricular atrial blanking period such that far-field R-waves are not detected by the atrial channel as P-waves. The pre-ventricular atrial blanking period is dynamically adjusted to a period that causes the system to ignore an atrial sensed event that follows a prior atrial event without an intervening ventricular event.
