Sumario:A central venous temperature sensing lead. Pacemaker rate responsiveness derived from changing central venous blood temperature requires the development of sensor leads that are stable and reliable. The relevant characteristics of one such design are described. Temperature response time, data acquisition time, temperature sensitivity, and long-term sensor shunt impedance have been studied both in vitro and in viva These parameters are analyzed with respect to the intrinsic temperature signal and to pacemaker implementation problems.
