ABSTRACT:
An implantable device prevents tachyarrhythmias of a human heart which has arrhythmogenic tissue such as a myocardial infarction site. The device includes a plurality of electrodes configured for electrical contact with the heart and for placement in proximity to the arrhythmogenic tissue and a sensor including a single sensing electrode for sensing electrical activations of one chamber of the heart. A pulse generator coupled to the plurality of electrodes and responsive to the sensor provides the plurality of electrodes with an electrical pulse during each sensed electrical activation.
