摘要:
A leadless intra-cardiac medical device (LIMD) includes multiple electrodes that allow for stimulation and sensing of the right ventricle (RV) and sensing of the right atrium (RA), even though it is entirely located in the RV. The LIMD includes a housing having a proximal end configured to engage local tissue in the local chamber and electrodes located at multiple locations along the housing. Sensing circuitry is configured to define a far field (FF) channel between a first combination of the electrodes to sense FF signals occurring in the adjacent chamber. The sensing circuitry is configured to define a near field (NF) channel between a second combination of the electrodes to sense NF signals occurring in the local chamber. A controller is configured to analyze the NF and FF signals to determine whether the NF and FF signals collectively indicate that a validated event of interest occurred in the adjacent chamber.
