METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SELECTING A SENSING VECTOR CONFIGURATION IN A MEDICAL DEVICE

A method and medical device for determining sensing vectors that includes sensing cardiac signals from a plurality of electrodes, the plurality of electrodes forming a plurality of sensing vectors, determining a sensing vector metric in response to the sensed cardiac signals, determining a morphology metric associated with a morphology of the sensed cardiac signals, determining vector selection metrics in response to the determined sensing vector metric and the determined morphology setting, and selecting a sensing vector of the plurality of sensing vectors in response to the determined vector selection metrics.
