1. A cardiac assist device, comprising:
- a primary device housing;
said primary device housing having a control circuit therein;
a shielding formed around said primary device housing to shield said primary device housing and any circuits therein from electromagnetic interference;
a lead system to transmit and receive signals between a selected cardiac tissue region and said primary device housing;
a switch to place the control circuitry into a fixed-rate mode of operation;
an acoustic sensor to sense a predetermined acoustic signal;
said switch placing the control circuitry into a fixed-rate mode of operation when said acoustic sensor senses the predetermined acoustic signal.

Abstract
An electromagnetic immune tissue invasive system includes a primary device housing. The primary device housing having a control circuit therein. A shielding is formed around the primary device housing to shield the primary device housing and any circuits therein from electromagnetic interference. A lead system transmits and receives signals between the primary device housing. The lead system is either a fiber optic system or an electrically shielded electrical lead system.
