Abstract
Electrodes are used to measure an electrical signal (e.g., an electrogram). One or more filters are applied to the electrical signal to generate one or more filtered signals. Features of the filtered signals are evaluated to assess a sharpness corresponding to the electrical signal. Based on the sharpness, various characteristics of a morphology of the electrogram may be evaluated over a time period.
