Abstract: An implantable medical electrical lead connectable to an electrical header of an implantable medical device includes a lead body extending from a proximal end to a distal end, a lead terminal disposed at the proximal end of the lead body and configured to couple the lead to the electrical header, and a lead boot disposed at the lead terminal. The lead boot includes a strain relief portion and a seal portion. The strain relief portion is formed of a first elastic polymer and the seal portion is formed of a second elastic polymer. The first elastic polymer is different from the second elastic polymer.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for pacing site selection. In one example, a method includes using a sensing element such as an ultrasonic transducer, an optical pressure sensor, a MEMS pressure sensor, a SAW pressure sensor, an accelerometer, a gyroscope, or any other suitable sensing element to sense a measure related to a cardiac strain in a heart resulting from contraction and relaxation of myocardium during a cardiac cycle. Based on the sensed strain, an output may be provided for use by a user of the system to select a segment of the heart for lead placement.
