Abstract
A method and a system of phrenic nerve stimulation detection in conjunction with posture sensing is disclosed. In an embodiment, the method may include receiving a trigger for conducting a pace-induced phrenic nerve stimulation (PS) search using the IMD within the patient. On receiving the trigger, the IMD may be used for conducting the PS search. A procedure of conducting the PS search may include measuring a posture of the patient using an implantable posture sensor, searching for PS while the patient is in the measured posture and obtaining a PS result from the PS search for the measured posture. The method may include recording both the PS result and the measured posture in a memory of the IMD.
