ABSTRACT:
An atrial defibrillation system includes an implantable atrial defibrillator having an atrial defibrillation detector for detecting atrial fibrillation and a cardioverter for cardioverting the atria of a heart. The implantable atrial defibrillator further includes a receiver for receiving commands from an external nonimplanted transmitter. A nonimplantable communication device includes a transmitter for transmitting a command to the receiver. The command causes only the atrial fibrillation detector to be activated resulting only in the detection for atrial fibrillation without committing to atrial fibrillation cardioversion should atrial fibrillation be detected.
