In an implantable electrode for an electrode lead for a stimulation device for stimulating tissue, the electrode is formed as a biocompatible piezoelectric electrode which is adapted to be in direct electrical contact with tissue for electrically and mechanically stimulating the tissue and for detecting electrical and mechanical evoked response of the stimulated tissue. The stimulation device can include circuitry for making a diagnosis of a heart condition using signals received from the implantable electrode.
