Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for reducing RF heating in implantable leads. An implantable lead includes a first electrode, and a coupling component spaced from the first electrode, wherein the first electrode and the coupling component form a capacitor, wherein the first electrode and the coupling component are electrically isolated from one another at therapy frequencies, and wherein the first electrode and the coupling component are electrically coupled to one another at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) frequencies.
