Lead impedance scanning system for pacemakers

Abstract

A pacemaker lead analyzer for measuring impedance during standard operation of an implanted pacemaker. The analyzer makes separate measurements of lead impedance during each heart signal and each pacing pulse. A moving average of measured parameters is maintained and recurring deviations from the norms are noted in separate event counters for subsequent analysis of the noted events as possible indications of impending failure of an implanted lead.
