ABSTRACT:
An implantable defibrillation system includes a lead system for making electrical contact with a heart, an atrial cardiovertor coupled to the lead system for applying cardioverting electrical energy to that is of the heart, and a ventricular defibrillator coupled to the lead system. The ventricular defibrillator includes a ventricular arrhythmia detector responsive to a control signal for detecting for a ventricular arrhythmia of the heart and a ventricular cardiovertor for cardioverting the ventricles of the heart in response to the ventricular arrhythmia detector detecting a ventricular arrhythmia. A ventricular arrhythmia detector enable stage provides the control signal in response to each application of cardioverting electrical energy to the atria by the atrial cardiovertor.
