Abstract

See full text

Electrical noise may be discriminated from sensed heart signals based on cardiovascular pressure. A plurality of detected cardiovascular pressure values are respectively associated with a plurality of detected tachyarrhythmia events. In some examples, a variance in the cardiovascular pressure, e.g., above a threshold range, may indicate that the detected tachyarrhythmia events are at least partially attributable to electrical noise. In some examples, stimulation therapy to a heart of a patient may be controlled based on the detection of a tachyarrhythmia episode and a variability in the cardiovascular pressure values that are associated with the tachyarrhythmia episode. In other examples, a sensing integrity indication may be generated upon determining that a tachyarrhythmia episode was associated with a variable cardiovascular pressure.
