Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An implantable medical device (IMD) can include a cardiac pacemaker or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). Various portions of the IMD, such as a device body, a lead body, or a lead tip, can be provided to reduce or dissipate a current and heat induced by various external environmental factors. According to various embodiments, features can be incorporated into the lead body, the lead tip, or the IMD body to reduce the creation of an induced current, or dissipate the induced Current and heat created due to an induced current in the lead. For example, an IMD can include at least one outer conductive member and a first electrode. The first electrode can be in electrical communication with the at least one outer conductive member. The first electrode can dissipate a current induced in the at least one outer conductive member via a first portion of the anatomical structure.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An implantable medical device operable to provide a therapy comprising: a lead having a proximal end, a distal end, a body that includes at least one outer conductive member and a multilumen member that extends from the proximal end to the distal end; a first electrode fixedly coupled between the proximal end and the distal end of the lead, the first electrode in electrical communication with a first inner conductor disposed within the multilumen member to…
