1. A physiologic signal acquisition system including at least one subcutaneous electrode coupled to operative circuitry disposed within a hermetically sealed housing, comprising:

  • a hermetically sealed housing for an implantable medical device (IMD);

    a shroud member adjacent at least a part of the peripheral portion of the housing, said shroud member including at least one recessed region adapted to receive a substantially planar, plate-type electrode, wherein the substantially planar, plate-type electrode mechanically interlocks to one of;

    a peripheral feature and a non-peripheral feature of the at least one recessed region; and

    signal processing circuitry mounted inside the housing and electrically coupled to the electrode to detect the cardiac signals.
