    Abstract: A microlead includes exposed areas forming stimulation electrodes. The microlead further includes a stimulation zone (ZS) defined by a first preshape of the microcable at the distal end thereof, in a region including the electrodes (30). The microlead further includes a retention zone (ZR) including a retainer shape adapted to abut the wall of the target vessel. The microlead further includes a stretching zone (ZEL) proximal to the retention zone. The stretching zone may be defined by a shape adapted to make the region elastically deformable in the longitudinal direction under the effect of an axial traction/compression stress. The axial traction/compression stiffness in the elongation zone is lower than that in the retention and stimulation areas.

    Abstract: A processor-based method for use with an active implantable medical device for cardiac pacing, resynchronization, and/or defibrillation includes forming a plurality of first and second endocardial acceleration vectors using a plurality of endocardial acceleration signals acquired using stimulation to cause capture and a spontaneous rhythm of the patient in the absence of ventricular pacing, respectively. An at least two dimension space is created using the first and second endocardial acceleration vectors, including two subspaces corresponding to the presence and absence of capture, respectively. Ventricular capture is tested for after acquiring a new endocardial acceleration signal. The testing includes forming a new endocardial acceleration signal based on the new vector. Presence or absence of capture is determined for the new signal based on the position of the new vector relative to the two subspaces.
