Abstract
A system and method for classifying cardiac depolarization complexes in which waveforms of a depolarization complex are sensed by separate electrodes and correlated with template waveforms of a template depolarization complex. The system is particularly suitable for incorporation into a cardiac rhythm management device such as an implantable cardioverter/defibrillator or pacemaker in order to facilitate arrhythmia prediction and/or prevention.
