ABSTRACT:
The pacing lead with sensor is adapted to be inserted into a human heart and includes a piezoelectric device, such as a bimorph, for sensing the occurrence of a phenomenon in the heart. The piezoelectric device can be positioned in the heart while the signal it generates is carried outside the heart, where it can be utilized. The piezoelectric device of the present invention is designed to indicate a phenomenon occurring, and can measure the absolute and/or relative value of the phenomenon such as pressure. As a result, the piezoelectric device utilized is easy to construct and manufacture, and may be used without complicated equipment.
