An implantable atrial defibrillator cardioverts the atria of a patient's heart and determines the quantity of cardioverting electrical energy required for cardioverting the atria of the patient. The atrial defibrillator includes a detector for detecting atrial activity of the heart and an atrial fibrillation detector for determining when the atria of the heart are in fibrillation. A delivery stage is selectively operable in a test mode for applying fibrillation inducing electrical energy to the atria when the atria are not in fibrillation for inducing fibrillation. When fibrillation is induced, the delivery stage repeatedly applies test cardioversion electrical energy to the atria until the atria are cardioverted. Thereafter, a value indicative of the quantity of the test cardioversion energy last applied to the atria is stored for future reference when the atrial defibrillator is in a normal operating mode.
