ABSTRACT:
A synchronizable heart pacemaker includes a timing circuit, a differentiating circuit for receiving signals, and an interference recognition circuit connected to the output of the differentiating circuit. The interference recognition circuit includes a testing stage for each signal. An output signal normally appears on an output of the testing stage, and the testing stage includes a peak detector circuit which stores a positive maximum value and a negative maximum value of each signal differentiated by the differentiating stage, and an adder forming the sum of said maximum values. A discriminator stage is postcoupled to the testing stage. The discriminator stage generates a time interval corresponding approximately to a time duration of the QRS-complex of a heart-action signal, and includes a checking circuit for checking the presence or absence of the output signal of the testing stage after said time interval, and a decision circuit for recognizing the output signal either as an interfering signal, and thereafter rendering the interfering signal ineffective, or recognizing the output signal as the heart-action signal, and passing the heart-action signal to the timing circuit.
