Abstract:
1. A heart stimulator for stimulating at least a ventricle of a heart comprising: at least one ventricular stimulation pulse generator adapted to generate electric stimulation pulses and wherein said at least one ventricular stimulation pulse generator is connected or connectable to at least one ventricular stimulation electrode configured to deliver said electric stimulation pulses to at least one ventricle of a heart, said at least one ventricular stimulation pulse generator being adapted to generate stimulation pulses that have a strength that depends on a control signal; at least one ventricular sensing stage connected or connectable to an electrode configured to pick up electric potentials inside said at least one ventricle of said heart wherein a time course of said electric potentials represent a heart signal; and, a control unit connected to said at least one ventricular sensing stage and to said at least one ventricular stimulation pulse generator wherein said control unit is adapted to
