ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for deriving impedance signals with an implanted pulse generator and lead system. In particular the present invention provides a medical system which delivers electrical stimulation pulses to a first area and senses impedance in a second area, in particular the medical system features a multi electrode lead connectable to a pulse generator through a standardized connector assembly. The lead has two internal conductors and three electrodes. Two of the electrodes are coupled by means of a capacitor integral with the lead.
