Abstract
A semi-automatic atrial and ventricular defibrillator comprising an implantable subsystem and an external programming control subsystem allowing for automatic ventricular cardioversion defibrillation countershock therapy and semi-automatic atrial cardioversion defibrillation countershock therapy. The system allows for the diagnosis of atrial and ventricular dysrhythmias and automatically treating the ventricular dysrhythmias but allowing for discretionary treatment of atrial dysrhythmias. Such discretionary control provides utility in allowing an operator including the patient, physicians, nurses, paramedics, and medical assistants to forego painful atrial defibrillation countershocks based on a medical assessment that the patient's atrial dysrhythmia is not significantly dysfunctional and amenable to less immediate and less urgent medical treatment.
