  • Abstract
    Present cardiac pacemaker designs use either unipolar or bipolar electrode systems. Advantages of unipolar electrodes for stimulation are listed; then arguments in favor of bipolar electrodes for sensing are cited. A proposed system combines unipolar stimulation with bipolar sensing and may be implemented by adding a differential-input stage to the sensing amplifier.
