A method an apparatus for treating fibrillation, particularly atrial fibrillation. In response to detection of fibrillation, a high frequency, low energy pulse burst is delivered via pacing electrodes, accompanied by a high energy pulse delivered via defibrillation electrodes. The low energy pulse burst is preferably delivered to an area of the heart which exhibits relatively lower current density during delivery of the high energy pulse.
