1. An implantable medical device comprising:

  • a housing which includes a power source and control electronics;

    at least one lead extending from the housing and having one or more discrete reservoirs therein, each reservoir having at least one opening to an outer surface of the lead;

    one or more sensors, which monitor or detects in vivo an analyte, biomarker, or physical parameter that is associated with cardiac health, located in the one or more reservoirs and in operable communication with said control electronics; and

    at least one selectively disintegratable reservoir cap sealing each of said at least one opening of said one or more reservoirs,wherein the at least one reservoir cap is operably connected to the power source and control electronics to selectively disintegrate the reservoir cap and expose the one or more sensors in vivo.
