Abstract
An apparatus for applying at least one electric pulse to a living myocardial tissue comprises an input configured to receive an electric signal representing a present electric activity of the myocardial tissue; a signal processor configured to process the electric signal to calculate a present permutation value of the electric signal in the state space and to only output a control signal when the calculated present entropy value of the electric signal is lower than a predetermined entropy threshold value; a pulse generator configured to generate the at least one electric pulse in response to the control signal; and an output configured to output the at least one electric pulse to the myocardial tissue.
