UNIPOLAR PACING IN THE PRESENCE OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE

摘要

An implantable medical system may include an implantable medical lead including at least one electrode and an implantable medical device. The implantable medical device comprises an electromagnetic interference (EMI) detection module that monitors for one or more particular characteristics of EMI. A control module is configured to control a therapy module to generate single stimulation pulses while operating the IMD in a first operating mode. In response to detecting the condition indicative of the presence of EMI, the control module switches the IMD from the first operating mode to a second operating mode and generates at least one group of two or more stimulation pulses in close proximity to one another in place of a single stimulation pulse while operating the IMD in the second operating mode.
