The supraventricular rhythm of a patient's heart is characterized using cardiac beats collected during a plurality of time periods, some of which are noncontiguous. Pacing parameters may be modified to allow the development of a spontaneous rhythm. Waveforms of the collected cardiac beats are stored for later processing, or are combined with previously collected beats and the combination is stored. When a sufficient number of cardiac beats are collected, the patient's supraventricular rhythm is characterized using the collected cardiac beats.
