Abstract

To make it possible to suppress spurious signals of any type without having a negative effect on the stimulation or detection characteristics of a cardiac pacemaker, a signal processing unit is provided which prevents control signals from being applied to the device for controlling the heart stimulation pulses when signals from the two unipolar pacemaker electrodes are received at substantially the same time.
