Abstract:
An implantable lead includes a defibrillation electrode and a sensor coupled thereto. The electrode and sensor are positioned along a body of the lead such that, when a fixation element couples the lead to an endocardial surface of a right ventricle, the sensor is located in a high flow region and a portion of the defibrillation electrode is located in proximity to a right ventricular apex.
