ABSTRACT:
A post-surgical atrial cardioverting, atrial pacing, and ventricular pacing system and lead system provides for cardioverting the atria, pacing the atria, and/or pacing the ventricles of the heart of a post-surgical heart patient. The system includes a first lead and a second lead providing a pair of atrial cardioverting electrodes, an atrial pacing electrode, and a ventricular pacing electrode. The electrodes are electrically isolated from each other. The system further includes at least one anchor releasably disposing the electrodes beneath the skin of the patient with each atrial cardioverting electrode electrically contacting a respective given one of the atria, the atrial pacing electrode electrically contacting one of the atria, and the ventricular pacing electrode electrically contacting a ventricle. The system further includes at least one of an external cardiovertor coupled to the cardioverting electrodes for cardioversion, an external atrial pacer coupled to the atrial pacing electrode and one of the atrial cardioverting electrodes for pacing the atria, and an external ventricular pacer coupled to the ventricular pacing electrode and one of the atrial cardioverting electrodes for pacing the ventricles.
