An implantable medical device has a housing containing electronic operating circuitry for the operation of the implantable medical device, and radio frequency circuitry for transmitting and/or receiving radio frequency signals. The implantable medical device has at least one surface portion made of an electrically conductive material. At least one slot is provided in the surface portion of the electrically conductive material and a slot feed is operatively interconnected between the radio frequency circuitry and the slot. The surface portion of the electrically conductive material and provided with the slot is adapted to operate as a transmitting and/or receiving antenna for the radio frequency signals.
