An implantable atrial defibrillator provides cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of a human heart in need of cardioversion. The atrial defibrillator includes a first detector for detecting atrial activity of the heart and an atrial fibrillation detector responsive to the first detector for determining when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion. The atrial defibrillator further includes a pacing output circuit responsive to the atrial fibrillation detector for pacing the ventricles of the heart at a pacing rate when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion and a cardioverter stage for applying the cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart after the pacing output circuit has paced the ventricles for a predetermined number of cardiac cycles. The pacing output circuit stabilizes the cardiac rate of the heart prior to the application of the cardioverting electrical energy.
