Normal cardiac rhythm template generation system and method
First Claim
1. A method of generating a snapshot representative of one beat of a patient'"'"'s normal cardiac rhythm, comprising:
- sensing rate channel signals;
sensing shock channel signals;
determining a fiducial point for the rate channel signals;
aligning the shock channel signals using the fiducial point; and
generating a template using the aligned shock channel signals, the template representative of one of the patient'"'"'s normal supra-ventricular conducted beats.

Abstract
A method and system provides for generating a snapshot representative of one beat of a patient'"'"'s normal cardiac rhythm. Cardiac rate channel signals and shock channel signals are sensed. A fiducial point is determined for a predefined number of the cardiac rate channel signals. A predefined number of the shock channel signals are aligned using the fiducial point. A template is generated using the aligned shock channel signals, whereby the template is representative of one of the patient'"'"'s normal supra-ventricular conducted cardiac beats. The template is updated on a periodic basis.
