Abstract
An implantable medical device and associated method perform ECG morphology monitoring. A subcutaneous ECG signal and a posture signal are sensed in a patient. A cardiac condition is detected in response to the ECG signal and the posture signal. In one embodiment, multiple ECG morphology templates corresponding to each of a number of different patient postures are acquired and stored for use in detecting a cardiac condition.
