Abstract
An implantable intracardiac atrial retraining device and system may be configured to sense and identify locations of changes to cardiac tissue that impact electrical signals therein. The implantable intracardiac atrial retraining device may include a septum electrode that crosses through the septum and multiple extension electrodes may extend therefrom along endocardium of one or both of the atria. The extension electrodes may be used to sense electrical electrodes produced by the sinoatrial node and one or more electrical characteristics of the heart tissue. If any changes to the electrical signals and/or electrical characteristics of the heart tissue change, a notification may be generated to notify a physician and/or patient.
