Abstract
An example medical device includes processing circuitry configured to determine an electrode impedance value for each of one or more electrodes of a lead coupled to the medical device, identify one or more of the electrodes having electrode impedance values that are greater than electrode impedance values of other electrodes of the lead, from the identified one or more electrodes, determine a recommendation of electrodes to use for sensing a signal, and output information indicative of the recommendation.
