ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for delivering electrical shock therapy in order to treat atrial tachyarrhythmias such as fibrillation in which atrial defibrillation pulses are delivered within a maximum pre-shock R—R synchronization interval. The method has been found to reduce the incidence of early recurrence of atrial fibrillation (ERAF).
