Abstract
An implantable medical device (IMD) includes a lead status monitoring system. The lead status monitoring system employs a method including the steps of: collecting data sets from a lead impedance source, a stimulation threshold source, and at least one additional source included in the IMD; and processing the data sets to determine if a lead status event has occurred.
