A method and apparatus for treating fibrillation, particularly atrial fibrillation. In response to detection of fibrillation, a series of low energy pulse bursts is delivered, separated by defined inter-burst intervals, and including bursts unsynchronized to heart depolarizations. Detection of termination of fibrillation during inter-burst intervals results in cancellation of further pulse bursts to prevent re-induction of fibrillation.

Procédé et appareil permettant de traiter la fibrillation, en particulier la fibrillation auriculaire. En réponse à la détection de fibrillation, une série de salves d'impulsions de faible énergie séparées par des intervalles inter-salves définis est administrée. Ladite série comprend des salves non synchronisées avec les dépolarisations cardiaques. La détection de la fin de la fibrillation pendant des intervalles inter-salves entraîne l'annulation de nouvelles salves d'impulsions de manière à prévenir la réinduction de la fibrillation.
