An implantable cardiac device is configured to classify cardiac
arrhythmias using a plurality of arrhythmia discrimination algorithms.
Data is provided that is associated with a plurality of cardiac
arrhythmic episodes for which a cardiac electrical therapy was delivered
or withheld by the implantable medical device based on the plurality of
arrhythmia discrimination algorithms. A metric for each of the arrhythmic
episodes is computed. The metric defines a measure by which the
implantable cardiac device properly classified the arrhythmia.
Potentially misclassified arrhythmic episodes of the plurality of cardiac
arrhythmic episodes for which cardiac electrical therapy was
inappropriately delivered or withheld are algorithmically identified
using the metric.
