ABSTRACT:
A pacemaker has a pulse source for delivering heart stimulation pulses to at least one heart stimulation electrode which includes a source for charging a charge storage element with a prescribed amount of charge for each heart stimulus. The charge storage element is then caused to discharge a predetermined amount of charge through the stimulation electrode to form a heart stimulation pulse.
