Abstract
A medical device system and associated method for controlling a cardiac rhythm management therapy detect extracardiac stimulation. Cardiac pacing pulses are delivered, and a cardiac electrical signal comprising myocardial depolarization and repolarization signals is acquired. A processor is configured to, responsive to the cardiac electrical signal, detect extracardiac capture due to the cardiac pacing pulse.
