Abstract
A system includes a pulse generator including a can electrode and a lead couplable to the pulse generator, the lead including a distal coil electrode and a proximal coil electrode, wherein both of the coil electrodes are electrically uncoupled from the can electrode such that a unipolar sensing vector is provided between at least one of the coil electrodes and the can electrode.
Claims3
A method comprising:
- providing a pulse generator including a can electrode;
- and
- coupling a lead to the pulse generator, the lead including at least one proximal coil electrode which is electrically isolated from the can electrode, and the lead including a distal coil electrode which is electrically isolated from the can electrode;
- implanting the lead such that the proximal coil electrode is located in the right atrium and the distal coil electrode is located in the right ventricle;
- and
- sensing heart signals using a unipolar sensing vector between at least one of the coil electrode and the can electrode.
