Abstract
An implantable medical device for generating electrical stimulations, wherein the medical device is embodied to generate and emit, during a first stimulation phase, at least one first stimulation that has a first amplitude by means of energy from an energy storage element, and wherein the medical device is embodied, during a second stimulation phase following the first stimulation phase, to generate and emit at least one second stimulation that has a second amplitude by means of energy from the energy storage element, wherein the energy storage element is charged at least prior to the generation of the at least one first stimulation and after the generation of the at least one first stimulation, and wherein the medical device is embodied not to completely discharge the energy storage element by generating the at least one first stimulation. The invention furthermore relates to a method for controlling such a device.
