Abstract

See full text

An implantable system for the defibrillation of the atria of a patient's heart includes a first pair of atrial defibrillation electrodes configured for delivering a first atrial defibrillation pulse along a first current pathway in the heart, and a pulse generator operatively associated with the first pair of atrial defibrillation electrodes for delivering the first atrial defibrillation pulse. A second pair of atrial defibrillation electrodes configured for delivering a second atrial defibrillation pulse along a second current pathway in the heart is also included, with the second current pathway being different from the first current pathway. A pulse generator is operatively associated with the second pair of atrial defibrillation electrodes for delivering the second atrial defibrillation pulse after the first defibrillation pulse.
