IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL DEVICE FOR TREATING NEUROLOGICAL CONDITIONS WITH AN INITIALLY DISABLED CARDIAC THEREPY PORT AND LEADLESS ECG SENSING

摘要

An implantable medical device such as an implantable pulse generator that includes EEG sensing for monitoring and treating neurological conditions, and leadless ECG sensing for monitoring cardiac signals. The device includes a connector block with provisions for cardiac leads which may be used/enabled when needed. If significant co-morbid cardiac events are observed in patients via the leadless ECG monitoring, then cardiac leads may be subsequently connected for therapeutic use.
