An implantable medical lead includes an adaptor coupled to a body of the lead. The adaptor holds a sensor capsule between a first portion and a second portion of the lead body.

Implantable lead including sensor

An implantable lead includes a defibrillation electrode and a sensor coupled thereto. The electrode and sensor are positioned along a body of the lead such that, when a fixation element couples the lead to an endocardial surface of a right ventricle, the sensor is located in a high flow region and a portion of the defibrillation electrode is located in proximity to a right ventricular apex.

A lead for delivering electrical signals to and/or receive electrical signals from a human heart that includes a solid inner conductor, and a fixation device having a titanium nitride coated surface and electrically coupled to the inner conductor. A steroid is applied to the titanium nitride surface of the fixation device, and at least one layer of insulation is positioned around the inner conductor. A conductive coil is positioned around and is insulated from the inner conductor, an electrode ring electrically coupled to the conductive coil is positioned around and is electrically isolated from the inner conductor, and an insulating spacer is positioned between and electrically isolates the ring electrode and the fixation device.
