Abstract
Disclosed is a pacemaker having an output circuit which is set to a high impedance when the potential of the input signal transmitted through the input-output terminal is within a predetermined range, and is set to a low impedance when the potential of the signal is outside of the range. Therefore, the time when the input to an R wave detection circuit must be stopped due to the after potential becomes extremely short and the failure of detection of an R wave decreases and, further, there are no rapid fluctuations in the potential arising due to the on-off operation of the switch. Further, the pacemaker of the invention may include a pulse lowering circuit for inputting a lowering pulse to the R wave detecting circuit so that the pacing pulse and the following after potential can't be detected as the R wave of the electrical activity of the heart.
