Abstract
An example system includes memory configured to store a plurality of lead impedances (LeadZs) and processing circuitry communicatively coupled to the memory. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a first sensed LeadZ, and determine a second sensed LeadZ. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a first difference between the first sensed LeadZ and the second sensed LeadZ, and determine a parameter based at least in part on the first difference. The first sensed LeadZ and the second sensed LeadZ are sensed during a same first cardiac cycle or adjacent cardiac cycles of a heart that is receiving pacing.
