ABSTRACT:
An atrial defibrillator implantable beneath the skin of a patient includes an intervention sequencer for performing an intervention sequence. The intervention sequencer includes an atrial fibrillation detector for determining if atrial fibrillation is present in a patient's heart and a cardiovertor for applying cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the patient's heart if the atrial fibrillation detector determines that atrial fibrillation is present. A sequence initiating stage includes a receiver for receiving a sequence command generated from external to the patient. The sequence initiating stage causes the intervention sequencer to perform the intervention sequence upon receipt of a sequence command.
