A multi-chamber implantable heart stimulation device is provided, adapted
to inhibit anodal stimulation at a bipolar right chamber lead induced by
a unipolar left chamber lead. The device includes a control unit adapted
to provide to the unipolar left chamber lead a pace pulse having a
trailing edge without a sharp cutoff. The control unit may be adapted to
supply the pace pulse to the unipolar left chamber lead without a fast
recharge period. The control unit may be adapted to supply to the
unipolar left chamber lead a pace pulse having a trailing edge with a
gradual decay, a ramp, steps, or a non-linear function. The control unit
may be adapted to supply a different waveform to the bipolar right
chamber lead than the pace pulse for the unipolar left chamber lead. For
example, a conventional pacing pulse may be supplied to the bipolar right
chamber lead.
