A method and system is provided for responding, from internally within a patient, to an atrial arrhythmia in a heart including measuring from within the patient at least one electrocardiogram characteristic indicative of the atrial arrhythmia, and controlling from within the patient drug therapy delivery to the patient responsive to measuring the at least one electrocardiogram characteristic. Drug therapy is initiated to the patient responsive to measuring the at least one electrocardiogram characteristic. According to one aspect of the present invention, the drug therapy is staged within the patient prior to measuring the at least one electrocardiogram characteristic. According to another example embodiment, the heart is paced from within the patient at a predefined rate responsive to measuring the at least one electrocardiogram characteristic, pacing occurring alone, or in combination with drug therapy.

L'invention concerne un procédé et un système, situés à l'intérieur d'un patient, de réponse à une arythmie auriculaire comprenant la mesure, depuis l'intérieur du patient, d'au moins une caractéristique d'électrocardiogramme indicatrice d'arythmie auriculaire, et la commande, de l'intérieur du patient, de soins par médication déclenchés par la mesure de cette caractéristique. Les soins par médication sont déclenchés par la mesure de la caractéristique de l'électrocardiogramme. Selon un mode de réalisation de l'invention, les soins par médication sont mis en place à l'intérieur du patient avant la mesure de la caractéristique de l'électrocardiogramme. Selon un autre mode de réalisation, à titre d'exemple, le coeur est stimulé de l'intérieur du patient à un taux défini déclenché par la mesure de la caractéristique de l'électrocardiogramme, la stimulation ayant lieu seule ou accompagnée des soins par médication.
