Abstract

A system and method for detecting arrhythmic electrocardiogram (ECG) signals includes defining a plurality of threshold heart rates and rate-dependent sensitivity levels for detecting arrhythmic ECG episodes, wherein more clinically relevant heart rates are assigned rate-dependent sensitivity levels with higher sensitivities. ECG signals are monitored by a medical device, and monitored ECG signals are processed using the plurality of threshold heart rates and rate-dependent sensitivity levels to detect and capture arrhythmic ECG segments.
