Abstract
An implantable medical device and associated method for automatically generating morphology templates during fast cardiac rhythms, confirming a provisional template as a confirmed template, and using the confirmed template to classify subsequent detected arrhythmias. A provisional SVT template may be created during a fast ventricular rate and activated as a confirmed SVT template upon verification that the fast rate was due to an SVT. The confirmed SVT template may be used to discriminate SVT from VT/VF.
