Classification: CPC A | IPC A

Claim 13:
14. A method for execution by a pacemaker system, the method comprising:
operating a drive-sense circuit (DSC), operably coupled to a pacemaker lead, to generate a pace signal including electrical impulses based on a reference signal;
operating the DSC to provide the pace signal, via the pacemaker lead, to an electrically responsive portion of a cardiac conductive system of a subject to facilitate cardiac operation of a cardiovascular system of the subject, wherein muscles of a heart of the subject produce a mechanical response to the electrical impulses of the pace signal to move blood through the cardiovascular system of the subject;
operating the DSC to sense, via the pacemaker lead, cardiac electrical activity of the cardiovascular system of the subject that is generated in response to the pace signal and that is electrically coupled into the pacemaker lead;
generating a digital signal that is representative of the cardiac electrical activity of the cardiovascular system of the subject that is sensed via the pacemaker lead;
processing the digital signal generated by the DSC to determine the cardiac electrical activity of the cardiovascular system of the subject that is sensed via the pacemaker lead; and
adjusting one or more electrical characteristics of the reference signal during at least one of the DSC providing of the pace signal, via the pacemaker lead, to the electrically responsive portion of the cardiac conductive system of the subject or the DSC sensing, via the pacemaker lead, the cardiac electrical activity of the cardiovascular system of the subject.
