A pacemaker has a stimulation threshold measuring unit which measures a stimulation threshold voltage value of a heart and a pulse generator for deliverying stimulation pulses of variable amplitudes and durations to the heart. The pulse generator is controlled by a control unit to deliver the stimulation pulses with respective amplitudes related to the measured threshold value and a safety margin. The control unit automatically changes the safety margin in accordance with a predetermined relationship between the safety margin and the measured threshold value, so that the safety margin is progressively increased as the measured threshold value increases.
