摘要：
A system and method for assessing coupling of a lead to tissue are provided. The inventive system includes a lead body with an electrode and a fixation element disposed near a distal end of the lead body. The fixation element is configured to anchor the distal end of the lead body in the tissue. The system further includes a meter configured to generate a signal indicative of an amount of energy between the electrode and the fixation element. The amount of energy may comprise capacitance or inductance between the electrode and the fixation element. The system further includes an electronic control unit configured to determine a degree of coupling between the lead and the tissue responsive to the signal.
