Abstract
An implantable bi-ventricular heart stimulating device () has a control circuit with first and second sensing circuits for respectively sensing in the two ventricles and first and second stimulation circuits for respectively stimulating the two ventricles. The control circuit determines whether a signal, sensed by said second sensing circuit, occurs essentially simultaneously with a signal sensed by the first sensing circuit. Furthermore, the control circuit determines whether a further signal is sensed by said second sensing circuit within a predetermined time interval which follows after the signal sensed by the second sensing circuit but within the same time cycle as that signal. If this occurs, the control circuit determines whether the sensed signals represent actual cardiac events, or are likely the result of far field detection.
