An apparatus and method for verifying capture by first and second pacing pulses in which an evoked response waveform recorded during a pacing event is compared with template waveforms representing capture by the first, second, and both pacing pulses. The evoked response is then classified as representing a type of capture represented by a template waveform if the evoked response waveform highly correlates with one template waveform and has correlation values with the other template waveforms within specified bounds.
