1. A system for verifying a cardiac related candidate pathologic episode of a patient, the system comprising:
an accelerometer configured to be implanted in the patient, the accelerometer configured to obtain accelerometer data along at least one axis related to the patient;
memory configured to store program instructions;
one or more processors that, when executing the program instructions, are configured to:
obtain a biological signal and identify a cardiac related candidate pathologic episode based on the biological signal;
analyze the accelerometer data to identify a physical action experienced by the patient by comparing the accelerometer data related to the patient obtained before identification of the cardiac related candidate pathologic episode to the accelerometer data related to the patient obtained after the identification of the cardiac related candidate pathologic episode; and
verify the cardiac related candidate pathologic episode based on the physical action.
