Abstract

Computer implemented methods and systems for detecting noise in cardiac activity are provided. The method and system obtain a far field cardiac activity (CA) data set that includes far field CA signals for a series of beats, overlay a segment of the CA signals with a noise search window, and identify turns in the segment of the CA signals. The method and system determine whether the turns exhibit a turn characteristic that exceed a turn characteristic threshold, declare the segment of the CA signals as a noise segment based on the determining operation, shift the noise search window to a next segment of the CA signal and repeat the identifying, determining and declaring operations; and modify the CA signals based on the declaring the noise segments.
