ABSTRACT:
The date and time of death of a patient may be recorded in a memory of a microprocessor used in an implantable cardiac rhythm management device by detecting the failure of the heart to produce an evoked response upon the application of a pace pulse to the heart. To confirm death, other physiologic sensors used in the cardiac rhythm management device may also be sensed to determine the absence of an expected output signal.
