ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are disclosed herein that advantageously combine beneficial aspects of overdrive pacing and multi-site atrial pacing in order to provide an improved treatment for atrial fibrillation. The methods and apparatus include sensing of atrial activity at multiple sites within the atria at an overdrive pacing rate to detect intrinsic atrial depolarization, and delivery of pacing pulses to multiple sites within the atria to prevent or terminate arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation.
