Abstract

See full text

An atrial defibrillator coordinates atrial cardioversion with ischemia detection. The defibrillator includes a plurality of sense amplifiers for sensing electrical activity of a heart. An ischemia detector is responsive to the sensed electrical activity of the heart for detecting ischemia of the heart. An atrial fibrillation detector is responsive to the sensed electrical activity of the heart for determining if the atria are in need of cardioversion, and a cardiovertor applies cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart if the atria of the heart are in need of cardioversion and if the ischemia detector fails to detect ischemia of the heart.
