Abstract

Methods and implantable devices that address response to, or avoidance of, likely non-cardiac voltages including after potentials from external or internal stimulus. Also, methods of operation in implantable medical devices, the methods configured for identifying saturation of input circuitry and mitigating the effects of such saturation. Also, implantable cardiac stimulus or monitoring devices that include methods for identifying saturated conditions and mitigating the effects of such saturation.
