ABSTRACT:
An implantable cardiac stimulation device provides a stimulation therapy or an atrial ablation recommendation responsive to detection of atrial flutter of a heart. The device includes a sensing circuit that senses electrical activity of a heart and generates electrical signals representing electrical activity of the heart, an arrhythmia detector that detects atrial flutter of the heart, and a data processor that measures cardiac data responsive to the electrical signals. A therapy control responsive to the detection of atrial flutter recommends atrial ablation of the heart when the cardiac data satisfies a predetermined criteria and atrial flutter suppression when the cardiac data fails to satisfy the predetermined criteria. The device may further include a pulse generator that provides stimulation therapy to at least one atrium to terminate the atrial flutter.
