Abstract
A method of detecting a cardiac event in a medical device that includes sensing cardiac signals from a plurality of electrodes forming a first sensing vector and a second sensing vector, and determining whether the sensing of cardiac signals along the first sensing vector and along the second sensing vector is corrupted by noise. If the cardiac signals sensed along both the first sensing vector and the second sensing vector are not corrupted by noise, a determination is made as to whether the cardiac signals sensed along the first sensing vector and along the second sensing vector are one of a first cardiac event and a second cardiac event. The determination of whether the cardiac signals sensed along the first sensing vector and along the second sensing vector are one of a first cardiac event and a second cardiac event is then confirmed.
