CA 2501951

The invention is directed to techniques for applying overdrive pacing to one or both atria following termination of an AF episode, to prevent a recurrent AF episode. An implantable medical device such as pacemaker applies overdrive pacing according to overdrive pacing parameters, and sets the parameters as a function of the response of the patient to overdrive pacing. The parameters maybe adjusted upward or downward, so that overdrive pacing may be applied effectively but not over-applied.

Cette invention concerne des procédés permettant d'exercer une stimulation électrosystolique rapide sur une ou les deux oreillettes après une crise de fibrillation auriculaire dans le but de prévenir une crise de fibrillation auriculaire récurrente. Un dispositif médical implantable, tel qu'un stimulateur cardiaque, exerce une stimulation électrosystolique rapide en fonction de paramètres de stimulation électrosystolique rapide, et défini les paramètres en fonction de la réaction du patient à cette stimulation électrosystolique rapide. Les valeurs de ces paramètres peuvent être augmentées ou diminuées de manière que la stimulation électrosystolique rapide puisse être exercée de façon efficace et non pas de façon excessive.
