1. A medical device, comprising:

  • a plurality of sensors sensing cardiac signals;

    a physiologic sensor sensing physiologic signals to generate a plurality of variation index samples corresponding to the sensed cardiac signals; and

    a microprocessor detecting the presence of a cardiac event in response to the sensed cardiac signals, computing, during the detected presence of the cardiac event, a variation index trend associated with a predetermined number of variation index samples of the plurality of variation index samples, determining the deviation of variation index samples of a current predetermined number of variation index samples from the variation index trend, determining whether the sensed cardiac signals are associated with noise in response to the determined deviation, and confirming the detected presence of the cardiac event in response to the sensed cardiac signals not being associated with noise.
