ABSTRACT An implantable cardioverting system wherein a cardioverting or defibrillating voltage is automatically applied across implantable electrodes assciated with the heart of a patient. The cardioverting voltage is an exponentially-decaying voltage pulse that is chopped, or broken, at high frequencies to provide a voltage wave packet formed of a plurality of high-frequency cardioverting pulses. The voltage is provided by an internal storage capacitor coupled across implantable electrode leads that is charged to a predetermined voltage level. Upon discharge, an electronic switch is clocked at frequencies preferably in excess of 1 KHz to open and close the circuit formed of the storage capacitor and electrodes.
