IMPLANTABLE DEVICE COMPRISING A STIMULATION PROBE ALLOWING A BIOIMPEDANCE MEASUREMENT ON A BLOOD FLOW

An implantable device includes a lead, for example for neurostimulation of the vagus nerve. The lead includes a series of stimulation electrodes and a series of external electrodes for bioimpedance measurements on blood flow located in the same region, for example on the carotid artery. The device f...

Zusammenfassung:An implantable device includes a lead, for example for neurostimulation of the vagus nerve. The lead includes a series of stimulation electrodes and a series of external electrodes for bioimpedance measurements on blood flow located in the same region, for example on the carotid artery. The device further includes means for separating into frequency bands the measured bioimpedance signal, the bands selected to reflect different respective activities such as vasomotor activity, hemodynamic activity, respiration, and cardiac rhythm activity.
