ABSTRACT:
In a heart stimulation device a mode of operation is switched in response to detection of atrial tachyarrhythmia such as atrial fibrillation. The stimulation device may initially operate in a normal mode of pacing then, upon detection of atrial tachyarrhythmia, the stimulation device may change how it senses signals and it may switch to another mode of pacing at one or more sites in the ventricle.
