Abstract
The present invention provides an implantable medical device having at least two electrodes coupled to the device housing. The electrodes may be configured for sensing physiological signals such as cardiac signals and alternatively for providing an electrical stimulation therapy such as a pacing or defibrillation therapy. In accordance with aspects of the disclosure, the device housing provides a hermetic enclosure that includes a first housing section that is hermetically coupled to a second housing section. At least one of the at least two electrodes is coupled to an exterior surface of the first housing section that encloses the battery components of the device. The first housing section is electrically insulated from the cathode and anode of the battery.
