An apparatus for treating atrial tachyarrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation. High energy pulses are delivered between electrodes locatable in the right atrium/SVC, the right ventricle and the coronary sinus/great vein, with the right ventricular and coronary sinus/great vein electrodes connected in common. Optionally a subcutaneous electrode, preferably located in the left pectoral area may also be employed, coupled in common to the right atrial/SVC electrode.

L'invention concerne un appareil pour traiter les tachyarythmies auriculaires, notamment la fibrillation auriculaire. Des impulsions haute énergie sont délivrées entre des électrodes positionnées entre l'oreillette droite/veine cave supérieure, le ventricule droit et le sinus coronaire/veine supérieure, les électrodes du ventricule droit et du sinus coronaire/veine supérieure étant connectées en commun. Eventuellement une électrode sous-cutanée, située de préférence dans la région pectorale gauche, peut également être employée et couplée en commun à l'électrode de l'oreillette droite/veine cave supérieure.
