Abstract: An implantable cardioversion device includes a sensor for sensing
intrinsic cardiac activity in a cardiac chamber, for example, the ventricle,
and filtering the same using a bandpass filter having an adjustable center
frequency. During normal sinus rhythm, the filter center frequency is set
to correspond to the center frequency of normal R waves. If a sinus
rhythm is not sensed, the filter center frequency is adjusted toward the
frequency characteristic of an abnormal cardiac condition, such as
ventricular fibrillation. The adjustable filter may be incorporated into an
automatic threshold control system so that both the filter center frequency
and the threshold are varied in synchrony. The adjustable filter may also
be incorporated with an automatic gain control system wherein the filter
center frequency and the gain are adjusted simultaneously.

Abstract: The rear end surfaces of slide guides (12) extending rearward beyond a valve
member (6) are configured to abut against a rear stepped surface (5d) when the
valve member (6) moves in a valve-opening direction, thus regulating an
amount of movement of the valve member (6). This prevents the spring (7) from
becoming fully compressed. As a result, even in a case where the spring (7) is
made of a synthetic resin, deterioration, due to stress relaxation, in a biasing
force can be suppressed, thus maintaining stable check valve functions.
