1. An implantable stimulation device comprising:

  • at least one stimulation module;

    at least two electrodes configured to allow delivery of stimulation pulses; and

    ,at least one data communication module;

    wherein said at least one stimulation module comprisesa voltage source,wherein said voltage source is configured to connect to the at least two electrodes via at least one stimulation-pulse-switch that is configured to control delivery of a pacing pulse,at least one DC-blocking capacitor connected in series with the voltage source and the at least two electrodes, andan autoshort switch configured to allow discharging of the at least one DC-blocking capacitor via the at least two electrodes when the autoshort switch is closed;

    wherein said at least one data communication module comprises at least one data transmission control module connected to the autoshort switch and is configured toalternatingly open and close the autoshort switch during an autoshort period following the delivery of a stimulation pulse to modulate a autoshort pulse amplitude.
