1. A wearable cardiac medical device comprising:
a garment to be disposed about a torso of a subject, the garment including a sensor disposed in the garment;
at least one ECG sensing electrode disposed in the garment; and
a controller configured to
receive information from the sensor indicative of whether the garment is properly fit about the torso of the subject;
determine, based on the information from the sensor, whether a stretch of the garment is in an under stretch range, an over stretch range, or within a tolerance range between the under stretch range and the overstretch range;
receive ECG information from the at least one ECG sensing electrode;
process the ECG information from the at least one ECG sensing electrode as being acceptable in response to determining the garment is in the tolerance range; and
process the ECG information from the at least one ECG sensing electrode as being unacceptable in response to determining the garment is in the under stretch range.
