Abstract:
1. A system for implanting an implantable element proximate to the His bundle, wherein the implantable element is configured for at least one of therapy delivery or sensing proximate to the His bundle, and wherein the system comprises: a delivery catheter comprising: an external device, wherein the delivery catheter comprises a connector at or near the proximal end to electrically couple the first and second electrodes to the external device, wherein the first and second electrodes are configured to obtain an electrocardiogram of the patient, wherein the external device is configured to receive the electrocardiogram from the first and second electrodes, analyze the electrocardiogram, and detect a signature waveform of the His bundle based on the analysis of the electrocardiogram, for implanting the implantable element at a location based on the detection of the signature waveform of the His bundle, and wherein the signature waveform comprises at least one of the atrial P-wave, ventricular QRS signature, and a His spike between the P-wave and QRS signature.
