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 ventricular activations of the heart, a second detector for detecting atrial activity of the heart, and an atrial fibrillation detector responsive to the second detector for determining when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion. The atrial defibrillator also includes a cardioverting stage for applying the cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart when the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion and when the time between immediately successive ventricular activations is greater than a preselected minimum time interval.
Défibrillateur auriculaire implantable donnant un choc électrique de cardioversion aux oreillettes du coeur humain ayant besoin de cardioversion. Ce défibrillateur comprend un premier détecteur qui décèle les activations ventriculaires du coeur, un second qui décèle l'activité auriculaire, et un détecteur de fibrillation auriculaire répondant au second détecteur pour déterminer quand les oreillettes ont besoin d'une cardioversion. L'appareil comprend aussi un stade de cardioversion qui applique un choc électrique de cardioversion aux oreillettes lorsque celles-ci en ont besoin et lorsque le temps qui sépare les activations ventriculaires successives immédiates est supérieur à un intervalle minimal prédéterminé.
