ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An externally controlled implantable electronic device for delivering a cardioverting pulse of energy to the atrium of an ailing heart is provided. The device is adapted to be activated only upon the manual intervention of an operator, who may be the wearer, when it is desired to effect atrail defibrillation. A receiver is arranged to receive commands from outside the skin and activate the device. A charging circuit delivers to a storage circuit an amount of energy sufficient to convert an abnormal supra-ventricular rhythm to a normal sinus rhythm. A controllable switch causes this energy to be discharged into the atrium through delivery electrodes to effect defibrillation.
