1. A computer implemented method for confirming an arrhythmia episode initially declared by a first detection process based on intervals between consecutive first R waves in a segment of CA signals, the first detection process detecting the first R waves based on a first sensitivity profile;
under control of one or more processors configured with executable instructions, implementing a confirmatory detection process that includes:
1) adjusting a parameter of a second sensitivity profile based on at least one P-wave or R-wave amplitudes occurring in the segment of CA signals;
2) comparing an amplitude of the CA signals, in the segment of CA signals, to the second sensitivity profile to detect a series of confirmatory R waves that includes one or more R waves under sensed by the first detection process; and
3) confirming or rejecting the arrhythmia episode based on consecutive R-R intervals for the series of confirmatory R waves that includes the one or more R waves under sensed by the first detection process.
