1. A leadless, batteryless, self-contained, intra cardiac device for heart function intervention, said device comprising:
- an energy converting means for transforming kinetic energy into electrical energy, wherein said energy converting means produces an electrical conversion signal when transforming kinetic energy from heart tissue movement into electrical energy and powers said intra cardiac device with said electrical energy and derives measured data in respect of heart function from said electrical conversion signal when the device is in use; and
a wireless transmitter or transceiver that transmits said measured data to a data receiving device.

Abstract
An intra cardiac device transforms kinetic energy from heart tissue movement into electrical energy to power the device and provide information in respect of heart function. A system comprising such an intra cardiac device may communicate wirelessly with at least one receiver outside the body and may be used for conveniently monitoring or stimulating a patient'"'"'s heart.
