ABSTRACT:
A system and method for applying atrial therapy to a human heart using a defibrillator includes detecting an atrial arrhythmia and delivering electrical energy to at least one atrium in response to a detected atrial arrhythmia. A first atrial activation is detected after delivering the electrical energy, occurrence of a detected first atrial activation defining a first moment. Finally, a first pacing pulse is delivered to a number of locations within the atria when the first atrial activation is detected. The first pacing pulse is delivered at a second moment substantially synchronous with the first moment.
