ABSTRACT:
An implantable system for the defibrillation of the atria of a patient's heart includes a pair of atrial defibrillation electrodes configured for delivering a first atrial defibrillation pulse in the heart, and a pulse generator operatively associated with the first pair of atrial defibrillation electrodes for delivering the first atrial defibrillation pulse. The pulse generator delivers a second second atrial defibrillation pulse after the first defibrillation pulse without intervening monitoring thereof to reduce the voltage necessary for the shock, and the pain associated therewith.
