Abstract
A pacemaker has an interference detecting circuit, and an evaluating and storing unit for continuously evaluating and storing the heart rate. The evaluating and storing unit stores the rate evaluated from at least one of the most recent cardiac cycles free of interference. A determining unit determines an interference backup rate from the stored rate in response to the detection of the onset of an interference situation. A control unit then adjusts the pacing rate equal to the interference backup rate.
