Abstract
An implantable device including a proximal end, a distal end, an elongate electrically conductive component arranged between the proximal end and the distal end, and a contact pole electrically connected to the elongate electrically conductive component. The contact pole is arranged in a region of the distal end to electrically contact bodily tissue adjacent to the contact pole during operation of the implantable device. The elongate electrically conductive component includes a sub-component connected in series with remaining portions of the elongate electrically conductive component. The sub-component includes a capacitive component, an inductive component and a magneto-resistive component, which are arranged to cause a reduction of a resistivity of the magneto-resistive component that leads to a shift of a resonance frequency of the sub-component.
