Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure include systems and methods for reducing false positives in detection of pauses. For example, embodiments include a sensing component configured to obtain values of a first physiological parameter and determine a cardiac pause based on the values of the first physiological parameter. Furthermore, embodiments include performing a validation check of the determined cardiac pause using at least one of: the values of the first physiological parameter or values of a second physiological parameter.
