Abstract
A device for heart therapy has a tacharrythmia detector unit, a control unit and a current generator. The current generator controlled by the control unit emits via an electrode system a first, pulsed current to a physiological representative of the parasympathetic nervous system in order to activate same in response to detection of an impending or established arrhythmia. The current generator is further caused by the control unit, in the event of tachyarrythmia detection to emit, via the electrode system, a second current to a physiological representative of the sympathetic nervous system in order to block same.
