    Abstract: This disclosure provides an extravascular ICD system and method for defibrillating a heart of a patient. The extravascular ICD system includes multiple extravascular electrical stimulation leads or lead segments located in close proximity to one another and having respective defibrillation electrodes. The ICD system utilizes the multiple defibrillation electrodes to form an extravascular electrode vector that may result a reduction in the shock impedance and/or a reduction in the DFT compared to extravascular ICD systems that include only a single extravascular defibrillation electrode. An ICD of the system may, for example, deliver a defibrillation shock using an electrode vector in which a first polarity of the electrode vector is formed by electrically coupling first and second defibrillation electrodes of first and second leads, respectively, to the therapy circuitry and a second polarity of the electrode vector is formed by electrically coupling a housing of the ICD to the therapy circuitry.

    Abstract: A medical device system including a pacemaker implantable in an atrial chamber of a patient's heart is configured to sense near field atrial events from a cardiac signal received by a sensing module of the pacemaker and to sense far field ventricular events. The pacemaker is configured to establish an atrial lower rate interval to control a rate of delivery of atrial pacing pulses, determine a rate of the far field ventricular events sensed by the sensing module, determine an atrial event rate, compare the rate of the sensed far field ventricular events to the atrial event rate, and adjust the atrial lower rate interval in response to the comparison.

    Abstract: A method for implanting a medical lead. The method includes advancing a tunneling tool posteriorly proximate the caudal end of the sternum toward a first location. The tunneling tool is advanced superiorly underneath the sternum through the anterior mediastinum from the first location to a second location cranial to the first location. A guidewire is advanced from the first location to the second location. A medical lead is slid along at least a portion of the guidewire, the medical lead at least substantially spanning the distance between the first location and the second location.
