ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac device is described in which therapeutic pulses for application to a patient's heart are generated by a controllable current source. Thus, the amplitude, duration and/or other characteristics of the pulses can be readily selected. The device can be used to apply brachy-or-tachy-pacing pulses, cardioversion pulses or even defibrillation shocks.
