Abstract
An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) senses ventricular depolarizations (R-waves) in an electrogram signal to detect a ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation episodes. The EGM signal is also monitored in real time for characteristics that uniquely identify instances of T-wave oversensing. The ICD determines whether detection of a tachycardia or fibrillation episode is appropriate based upon counts of each of the unique characteristics evidencing T-wave oversensing.
