Abstract:
1. An electromedical implant for monitoring a thoracic property of a living being, the implant comprising: a housing; a detector arrangement including an impedance measuring unit and an electrode arrangement, which are configured to capture a measurement signal associated with the thoracic property in the form of an impedance signal; a monitoring arrangement connectable to the detector arrangement and configured to generate a parameter from the measurement signal that is indicative of the thoracic property, and an evaluation unit connectable to the monitoring arrangement and configured to determine an evaluation result regarding the thoracic property from the parameter, wherein the electrode arrangement comprises a plurality of mutually isolated electrodes that are disposed on the housing and operatively connected via the impedance measuring unit and that are separately controllable, wherein an electrode body has a strip shape, and wherein an output of the impedance measuring unit is directly connected to an input of the monitoring arrangement.
