CARDIAC PACEMAKER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus for indicating end of battery life in a cardiac pacemaker. A battery voltage monitoring circuit provides an indication of battery voltage drop below a predetermined level. A counter circuit and decode logic respond to the voltage drop indication to block a portion of a predetermined number of the gener- ated pacing pulses from the heart to induce a benign arrhythmia in the heart thereby indicating end of battery life. In another embodiment a plurality of voltage sen- sors indicate progressive decreases in battery voltage and are connected with decode logic to block an increa- sing number of pacing pulses to indicate worsening battery condition.
