Abstract:
1. A method comprising: delivering an electrical signal between two or more implanted electrodes and via an implanted medical lead that carries at least one of the two or more implanted electrodes; sensing an electrogram signal with the two or more implanted electrodes and via the implanted medical lead during a period having a predetermined length subsequent to delivery of the electrical signal; detecting, based on the sensed electrogram signal, noise induced by the delivered electrical signal and indicative of a lead related condition of the implanted medical lead within the electrogram signal during the period having the predetermined length subsequent to the delivery of the electrical signal; and identifying, by a processor, the lead related condition of the implanted medical lead in response to the detection of the noise indicative of the lead related condition within the electrogram signal during the period having the predetermined length subsequent to the delivery of the electrical signal.
