Medical device for sensing cardiac function
A medical device includes at least one electrode to sense an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal of a patient, and a controller coupled to the at least one electrode. The controller is configured to generate a first ECG template based on a first ECG signal of the patient received during a first baselining operation. The controller is configured to determine that the patient has been administered a therapeutic shock, and responsive to the determination that the patient has been administered the therapeutic shock, the controller is configured to initiate a second baselining operation and generate a second ECG template based on a second ECG signal of the patient received during the second baselining operation. The controller is configured to determine whether the patient is experiencing a cardiac event based on a comparison of the second ECG template to a real time ECG signal received during real time monitoring of the patient.

DETECTION OF ATRIAL TACHYCARDIA BASED ON REGULARITY OF CARDIAC RHYTHM
This disclosure is directed to systems and techniques for determining an evidence level of an atrial tachycardia (AT) episode based on heart beat intervals in the cardiac activity data over a pre-determined time period. Based on a determination that the evidence level indicates relatively regular heart beat intervals, the example techniques apply a first set of AT detection criteria and indicate a detection of an AT episode based on satisfaction of at least one of the first set of AT detection criteria. Based on a determination that the evidence level indicates relatively irregular heart beat intervals, the example techniques apply a second set of AT detection criteria and indicate a detection of an AT episode based on based on satisfaction of at least one of the second set of AT detection criteria.
