Zusammenfassung:	A device and method that detects a lead failure condition for a lead having at least one electrode in contact with body tissue, wherein the lead is connected to the device. The device includes a first filter that filters an electric signal sensed by the at least one electrode to a first filtered signal, and a lead failure detection unit that detects signal characteristics of the first filtered signal. The lead failure detection unit indicates a lead failure condition when the detected signal characteristics correspond to a step response of the first filter.
