A computer implemented method and system for detecting arrhythmias in cardiac activity are provided. The method is under control of one or more processors configured with specific executable instructions. The method obtains far field cardiac activity (CA) signals and applies a direction related responsiveness (DRR) filter to the CA signals to produce DRR filtered signals. The method compares a current sample from the CA signals to a prior sample from the DRR filtered signals to identify a direction characteristic of the CA signals and defines the DRR filter based on a timing constant that is set based on the direction characteristic identified. The method analyzes the CA signals in connection with the DRR filtered signals to identify a peak characteristic of the CA signals and determines peak to peak intervals between successive peak characteristic. The method detects at least one of noise or an arrhythmia based on the peak to peak intervals and records results of the detecting.

A method for detecting heart beats is disclosed. A plurality of sensors are configured to receive a cardiac signal and another cardiac signal or a signal correlated with a noise source. A processor is configured to detect candidate peaks in a cardiac signal and select a subset of the candidate peaks for temporal correlation with features, such as peaks, in another cardiac signal or noise correlated signal. This relationship is quantified by a correlation measure. The correlation measure, in turn, influences the likelihood that a particular peak or sequence corresponds to a heartbeat. Candidate peaks that were not part of the correlation process may then be added to a sequence or sequences associated with the peaks subject to the correlation analysis. Sequences are scored according to quality and a final sequence is selected as possible heartbeats.
