1. An implantable leadless pacemaker configured to provide antibradycardia pacing of a human or animal heart, comprising:
an electrical energy source,
a sensor configured to sense intracardiac potentials of the heart,
a pulse generator configured to generate electrical pacing pulses,
a control unit for controlling the pulse generator, wherein the control unit is configured to inhibit generation of an electrical pacing pulse when an intracardiac potential is sensed, wherein the control unit is further configured to permanently switch off the pulse generator after passing of a predetermined timespan and/or after a pre-defined event detected by the pacemaker,
an electrode pole for electrical stimulation and sensing intracardiac potentials,
at least one fastening element for fastening the pacemaker to heart tissue.
