  • Publication number: 20110112599
    Abstract: A filtering scheme for an implantable medical device mitigates potentially adverse effects that may be caused by MRI-induced signals. In some aspects filtering is provided to attenuate MRI-induced signals on an implanted cardiac lead that is coupled to an implanted device. In some aspects the filter may be configured to complement a capacitor circuit (e.g., a feedthrough capacitor) that reduces the amount of EMI that enters the implanted device via the cardiac lead. In some implementations the filter consists of a LC tank circuit and a series LC circuit, where the LC tank circuit is in series with the cardiac lead and a cardiac stimulation circuit and the series LC circuit is in a shunt configuration across the cardiac stimulation circuit.
