The invention relates to a device for affecting the heart, for example for implantation. A heart affecting means (3,4,5,6) applies a voltage over at least a selected portion of the heart during an activation interval with a rise and fall with a derivative, the absolute value of which is less than the value of the derivative which for a patient in question triggers the patient's heart beat, and with a duration from beginning to end of each applied voltage signal of at least 30 ms. <IMAGE> |
