Abstract

An implantable medical device uses a method for dynamically managing physiological signal monitoring. A physiological signal is sensed for detecting physiological events in response a first threshold. A determination is made whether a second threshold has been met in response to detecting physiological events. If the second threshold has been met, detailed monitoring of the physiological events is enabled.
