ABSTRACT:
An implantable heart defibrillator is equipped with at least one intracardiac defibrillation electrode. A post-therapy apparatus is arranged to emit, after a defibrillation pulse, at least one stimulation pulse through the defibrillation electrode, the stimulation pulse having energy far higher than the energy in a normal heart stimulation pulse for cardiac pacing, but less energy than a normal defibrillation pulse.
