An implantable pacemaker system comprises a pulse generator having a memory function and an electrode to be introduced into the heart of a patient. The electrode is connected to the pulse generator via an implantable electrode lead. The system monitors intracardiac ECG. The pulse generator stores the ECG thus monitored in its memory continuously, so that the memory holds ECG data relating to a predetermined elapsed period of time. Means detect death or syncope of the patient and in response thereto stop the storage procedure, at least after a second predetermined period of time has elapsed following said detection. |
