Claim:
1. A method of detecting a cardiac event in a medical device, comprising: sensing cardiac signals from a plurality of electrodes; sensing a plurality of beats in response to the sensed cardiac signals; identifying each beat of the plurality of beats as one of a normal beat and a not normal beat; determining whether a number of beats identified as a normal beat is greater than a normal beat threshold; determining, in response to the number of beats identified as a normal beat being greater than the normal beat threshold, whether an RR interval associated with the beats identified as being a normal beat is less than a threshold interval; determining whether RR intervals associated with the beats identified as being normal beats are within an RR interval range; and identifying the cardiac event as being one of shockable and not shockable in response to the determining.
