ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulator, which may include cardioversion and pacemaker capabilities, which has apparatus for detecting an externally applied shock, such as a defibrillation or cardioverting shock. In response to detection of such a shock, the cardiac stimulator has apparatus to adjust the parameters of applied therapy, or to select alternative therapy, including, but not limited to, adjusting the magnitude of stimulus pulses for a predetermined length of time. The risk of loss of capture, and consequent failure of cardiac function, following an externally applied shock is thereby reduced.
