1. A method of cardiac event detection in an implantable cardiac stimulus or monitoring device, the device comprising an implantable canister housing operational circuitry and having a plurality of electrodes coupled to the operational circuitry;

  • the method comprising;

    capturing a signal from a chosen set of the plurality of electrodes; and

    detecting a cardiac event by comparing a detection threshold to an amplitude of the captured signal by;

    a) using a signal that undergoes post-beat filtering for a predefined period of time following the detected cardiac event; and

    b) using a signal that undergoes default filtering once the predefined period of time has expired;

    wherein the post-beat filtering is configured to attenuate frequencies correlated to T-waves more greatly than the default filtering.
