ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed an atrial defibrillator including a lead system for sensing activity of a heart in or near at least on atrium of the heart, a detector for detecting atrial events from the sensed atrial activity, and a cardioverter for applying cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart when the atria are in need of cardioversion. A timer determines time spans between successive detected atrial events and an inhibit stage precludes the cardioverter from applying cardioverting energy to the heart when a time span is greater than a predetermined limit.
