Abstract

An implantable medical device (IMD) determines an effect of the disruptive energy field and adjusts one or more operating parameters of the IMD based on at least the determined effect. In some instances, the IMD may determine an actual effect of the disruptive energy field, such as a temperature change, impedance change, pacing or sensing threshold change, MRI-induced interference one pacing or sensing, or other actual effect. In other instances, the IMD may determine a predicted effect of the disruptive energy field based on one or more characteristics of the exposure. In any case, the IMD adjusts one or more parameters based on at least the determined effect.
