ABSTRACT:
An implantable atrial defibrillator provides cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of a human heart in need of cardioversion. The atrial defibrillator includes a first detector for detecting ventricular activations of the heart, a second detector for detecting atrial activity of the heart, and an atrial fibrillation detector responsive to the second detector for determining when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion. The atrial defibrillator also includes a cardioverting stage for applying the cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion and when the time between immediately successive ventricular activations is greater than a preselected minimum time interval.
