ABSTRACT:
In an implantable heart stimulating device, system and method, a control circuit has first and second circuits for sensing and pacing. The first circuit can be connected to a first electrode member suited to be positioned in or at a first ventricle of the heart. The second circuit can be connected to a second electrode member suited to be positioned in or at a second ventricle of the heart. The control circuit is able to detect whether signals sensed by the second circuit are likely to be far field signals. The control circuit performs this detection by at least determining whether, during a predetermined time (length, more signals are sensed by the second circuit than by the first circuit.
