    摘要: An atrial defibrillator and method provides cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of a human heart after timing successive R to R intervals. A detector detects ventricular activations of the heart and a timer times intervals between immediately successive ventricular activations. A cardiovertor applies cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart when a second time interval between a third ventricular activation and a second ventricular activation immediately preceding the third ventricular activation satisfies a predetermined criteria with respect to a first time interval between the second ventricular activation and a first ventricular activation immediately preceding the second ventricular activation.

    摘要: An implantable atrial defibrillator provides adaptive output voltage control. An atrial cardiovertor is responsive to an atrial fibrillation detector for applying a cardioverting voltage having a magnitude to the atria of a heart when the atria are in need of cardioversion. A memory stores data associated with each such voltage application. A computation stage computes from the stored data a percentage of success which is compared to lower and upper limits. The output voltage is incremented or decrement based upon the comparison. The output voltage may further be maintained within a fixed preselected voltage range.

    摘要: An implantable atrial defibrillator cardioverts the atria of a patient's heart and determines the quantity of cardioverting electrical energy required for cardioverting the atria of the patient. The atrial defibrillator includes a detector for detecting atrial activity of the heart and an atrial fibrillation detector for determining when the atria of the heart are in fibrillation. A delivery stage is selectively operable in a test mode for applying fibrillation inducing electrical energy to the atria when the atria are not in fibrillation for inducing fibrillation. When fibrillation is induced, the delivery stage repeatedly applies test cardioversion electrical energy to the atria until the atria are cardioverted. Thereafter, a value indicative of the quantity of the test cardioversion energy last applied to the atria is stored for future reference when the atrial defibrillator is in a normal operating mode.

    摘要: An implantable atrial defibrillator includes a cardiovertor for applying cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of a heart when the atria are in need of cardioversion. The defibrillator further includes a pacer for pacing the atria of the heart immediately after each application of cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart. A rate control commences the pacing at a relatively high first rate and gradually reduces the rate to a lower second rate.
