摘要 |
Embodiments of the invention provide a device for interfacing a specialized lead for sensing a specific physiological parameter, other than standard pacing and sensing of an electrocardiogram signal, with a conventional CRM device. This produces a lead-based sensing system that can be use with any CRM device that is capable of reading an electrocardiogram signal. In one embodiment, a lead-based sensing system for use with any CRM device that is capable of reading an electrocardiogram signal comprises a sensor configured to be coupled to any CRM device by a lead, and to generate a signal associated with a physiological parameter of a patient other than an electrocardiogram signal; and sensor electronics connected to the lead to convert the signal associated with the physiological parameter other than the electrocardiogram signal into a converted signal that is readable by any CRM device that is capable of reading an electrocardiogram signal.
