ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting magnetic fields in implantable medical devices. The apparatus includes a sensor adapted to provide at least one signal proportional to at least one vector component of a magnetic field. The apparatus further includes a circuit adapted to receive the signal and perform a predetermined action when a predetermined quantity exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
