Abstract
An IMD includes a variable sense amplifier that can be adjusted to counteract the variability created in EGM's due to lead maturation. The effects of lead maturation are either predictively assumed or individually assessed on a given patient. The sense amplifier is then adjusted to assure positive identification of desired events and eliminate unwanted events.
