Patent ReferencesMultipurpose flow-directed catheter Demand anti-arrhythmia pacemaker Tripolar catheter apparatus Catheter, cardiac pacemaker and method of pacing Cardiac lead having multiple ring electrodes Patent #: 4444195 InventorAssigneeApplicationNo. 06/553260 filed on 11/18/1983US Classes:607/13Reducing output recovery timeExaminersPrimary: Kamm, William E.Attorney, Agent or FirmInternational ClassA61N 1/365 (20060101)AbstractA system is provided for cardiac pacing and sensing. A lead carrying three electrodes is introduced into a cardiac chamber. Two of the electrodes are connected to the output of a pulse generator and are disconnected from the pulse generator output during sensing. All three of the electrodes are connected to the input of a sensing amplifier during sensing and two of the electrodes are disconnected from the input during pacing. | |
