Abstract
The invention relates to an implantable sensor for detecting an electrical excitation of muscle cells, in particular cardiac muscle cells, wherein it is provided that the sensor comprises a dielectric component and a contact point for contacting muscle cells, which is connected to the dielectric component, so that an electric field in the dielectric component, and correspondingly a capacitance of the dielectric component, change with an electrical excitation of the muscle cells. The invention furthermore relates to a system comprising a sensor and an implant.
