Abstract
The disclosure is directed towards medical electrical leads having a plurality of electrodes, each of which may be selectable either individually or as a set in combination with one or more other electrodes. The selected one or more electrodes may be performed through the exemplary selection criteria and selection mechanism described herein to define an active stimulation field or sensing vector. For example, the criteria may comprise defining a predetermined ratio and selecting the electrodes to define an anode and cathode with a ratio of a surface area of the anode to a surface area of the cathode being equal to or greater than the predetermined ratio. The medical electrical lead may be adapted for continued therapy by selecting one or more different electrode(s) to define an alternate anode and/or cathode that maintains the criteria.
