ABSTRACT:
An implanted heart and tissue stimulator is provided which is externally programmable so that stimulating signals generated thereby can be changed to meet the changing requirements of the user. Provision is made for verifying and screening control parameter words which are transmitted from an external controller so that only correct parameters will be stored for use by the implanted stimulator. Provision for read out of stimulating signals and of the tissue response thereto is also provided.
