Abstract:
An implantable medical device can include a therapy circuit coupled to a therapy delivery terminal, the therapy circuit configured to generate a specified electrostimulation therapy for delivery to a tissue site via the therapy delivery terminal, and a measurement circuit for measuring at least two impedances of a first terminal combination including the therapy delivery terminal, the two impedances corresponding to at least two instances of excitation separated enough in time to capture an impedance artifact due at least in part to a motion of the heart, such as to determine an electrostimulation therapy lead status at least in part using the at least two impedances.
