BIPOLAR SENSOR FOR MUSCLE TISSUE ACTION POTENTIAL DURATION ESTIMATION

摘要

A bipolar sensor for muscle tissue action potential duration estimation, in accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, comprising two electrodes (4, 5) exposed at the distal end of an electrode lead (2). The electrodes at said distal end are kept at a very close poximity, and the sensor is electically connected to a processing means for processing the signal detected by the sensor. Another prefered embodiment of the bipolar sensor for muscle tissue action potential duration estimation comprises two electrodes (23, 24) positioned at a side wall of an electrode lead, wherein said electrodes are kept at a very close promixity, and wherein said sensor is electrically connected to a processing means for processing the signal detected by the sensor.
