The present disclosure is directed to the classification of cardiac episodes using an algorithm. In various examples, an episode classification algorithm evaluates electrogram signal data from a near-field channel and a far-field channel. The episode classification algorithm classifies the cardiac episode based on the evaluation of the electrogram signal data for at least one of the near-field and far-field channels. In some examples, a cardiac episode being classified may be an episode that resulted in treatment being provided by an implantable medical device. Possible classifications of the cardiac episode may include, for example, unknown, inappropriate, appropriate, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation or ventricular over-sensing.
