An implantable medical device has an oxygen sensor adapted to measure the level of oxygen in oxygenized blood, and to generate an oxygen measurement signal in dependence of the level of oxygen. The oxygen sensor is adapted to perform measurements inside the heart, of blood entering the left atrium of a patient's heart. The obtained oxygen measurement signal is compared to a predetermined threshold level and an indication signal is generated in dependence of the comparison. The, indication signal is indicative of the lung functionality of the patient.
