Accurate Detection of Lead Malfunction From ECG-derived Bipolar Pacing Stimulus Amplitude

One common mode of lead failure is insulation breach which may result in myopotential noise and device malfunction. “Pseudo-unipolarization” of bipolar pacing stimuli, as observed from a routine 12-lead ECG due to stimulus current leak has been observed with insulation breaches.
