Abstract

A system and corresponding method are disclosed for discriminating between far field R-waves and actual atrial events that are sensed on an atrial sense channel. In one embodiment, such information is used to prevent mode switching. In another embodiment, the information is used to extend an atrial blanking period so that the far field R-waves are no longer sensed on an atrial channel.
