1. A method of inhibiting delivery of atrial therapy, comprising:

  • developing atrial intervals and ventricular intervals from sensed atrial and ventricular events, respectively;

    computing a representative atrial interval rate and a representative ventricular interval rate using a predetermined number of the atrial and ventricular intervals, respectively;

    calculating an average atrial rate and an average ventricular rate using the representative atrial and ventricular interval rates, respectively; and

    inhibiting delivery of atrial therapy if the average atrial rate fails to exceed the average ventricular rate by at least a predetermined factor.
