Abstract
Systems and methods for distinguishing a valid sensed cardiac signal from an invalid signal, such as a myopotential. In one embodiment, sensing an electrical signal with one electrode causes a timing window to commence. When the electrical signal is sensed by another electrode in the timing window, the sense is deemed valid. When the electrical signal is not sensed by the other electrode in the timing window, the sense is deemed invalid. Therapy may be adjusted when an inordinate number of senses are invalid.
