Abstract:
The invention relates to a medical implantable lead of the kind being adapted to be implanted into a human or animal body for monitoring and/or controlling of an organ inside the body by means of an electric monitoring and/or controlling device. The lead comprises a connector including a rotatable control member in a proximal end of the lead, a rotatable and extendable helix (4) which is arranged in a tubular header (3) in a distal end of the lead and which functions both as a fixating member, for fixation of the distal end of the lead to the organ inside the body by being screwed into and embedded in tissue, and as an electrode for receiving and/or transmitting electrical signals from and to the tissue, respectively, and at least one conductor coil (8) including at least one electrically conducting wire, which is rotatably arranged within the lead and connected to the rotatable control member in the proximal end as well as to the helix in the distal end and which electrically connects the helix to the connector. The lead also comprises a torque transferring member (15), which is rotatably arranged within the lead and jointly together with the conductor coil (8) connected to the rotatable control member and the helix (4) such that the torque transferring member and the conductor coil will rotate simultaneously together when rotating the helix by means of the rotatable control member.

The tubular torque transferring member has no electrically conducting function to or from the helix (4), wherein the lead is arranged such that the electrical connection between the helix and the conducting wire is always maintained irrespective of the rotational position of the helix while no electrical connection is present between the helix and the tubular torque transferring member although the helix is rotatable by means of the tubular torque transferring member.
Abstract:
Heart stimulating device comprising a stimulation pulse generator arranged in a stimulator housing (2), where the heart stimulating device being connectable to a plurality of stimulation and sensing electrodes (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) arranged at one or many leads (3, 4, 13), the electrodes being adapted to be arranged in connection with the heart to stimulate the heart. The device further comprises a sensing unit adapted to sense electrical heart tissue responses to applied electrical stimulation pulses via said electrodes. The pulse generator is adapted to generate stimulation pulses to be applied to the heart tissue by different electrodes, and for each of the applied pulses resulting in a depolarization wave in the heart tissue a depolarization wave velocity, or a depolarization wave velocity measure, of the wave is determined by the sensing unit and stored in a memory unit. The stored wave velocities, or velocity measures, related to different stimulating electrodes, are compared to each other in a comparison unit and the comparison is used to adapt a stimulation mode when stimulating the heart to optimize the hemodynamic performance of the heart.
