Measuring a trans-valvular bio-impedance in an active implantable medical device, in particular, a pacemaker, a defibrillator and/or a cardioverter and/or a multisite device in which electrodes are placed in at least one ventricular site and one atrial site and are connected to at least one circuit for the collection (detection) of cardiac signals, to detect a depolarization potential. The electrodes also are connected to a stimulation circuit to deliver stimulation pulses to at least some of the sites. The trans-valvular bio-impedance is measured by injecting a current between an atrial site and a ventricular site, and collecting a potential differential between an atrial site and a ventricular site. The measurement configuration is a tripolar configuration, with one site common to the injection and the collection, one site dedicated for the injection and one site dedicated for the collection.
An active implantable medical device, in particular a multisite device, in which electrodes are to be placed in a plurality of respective distinct sites comprising at least one ventricular site and one atrial site on the same side of the heart, these electrodes being connected to at least one circuit of collection of cardiac signals to detect a depolarization potential, and to a stimulation circuit to apply stimulation pulses to at least certain of the aforesaid sites, said device comprising:
