    摘要: Methods, systems and computer program products for cardiac pacing are provided. A defibrillation shock is applied to a heart of the patient and a pacing stimulation signal is automatically applied to the heart of the patient subsequent to termination of the delivery of the defibrillation shock. The pacing stimulation may be applied to the heart of the patient within about two seconds of termination of the defibrillation shock. The pacing stimulation signal may be applied to the heart of the patient subsequent to termination of the defibrillation shock irrespective of a characterization of electrical activity detected in the heart. The pacing stimulation may be single and/or paired pacing stimulation.

    摘要: An implantable system (10) for the cardioversion of the heart of a patient in need of such treatment comprises a plurality of primary electrodes (not shown), a power supply (76, 78), and a control circuit (74). Preferably, at least one auxiliary electrode (not shown) is also included. The plurality of primary electrodes (not shown) are configured for delivering a cardiversion pulse along a predetermined current pathway in a first portion of the heart, the current pathway defining a weak field area in a second portion of the heart.
