Abstract
An improved technique is described for dealing with the detection of fusion beats when capture verification is performed by a cardiac pacing device such as during a capture threshold determination procedure. Schemes for classifying heart beats may misclassify beats as fusion beats due to feature/morphology changes in the test electrogram waveform that may occur even when capture is achieved.
