摘要 |
The invention is related to an ischemia detection apparatus comprising: an impedance measuring stage being connected to an electrode lead connector, said electrode lead connector being adapted to be connected to at least two intracardiac and/or epicardial electrodes and to produce an impedance signal indicative of a measured impedance between said at least two electrodes, and an ischemia detector connected to the impedance measuring stage and a memory for impedance signal values, the ischemia detector being adapted to evaluate the impedance signal by determining a change in endsystolic impedance consistent with ischemia and to develop a control signal indicative of ischemia (ischemia signal).
