METHOD AND ARRANGEMENT FOR USING ATRIAL PACING TO PREVENT EARLY RECURRENCE OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

摘要

A method for preventing early recurrence of atrial fibrillation by pacing aheart in AAI mode at a rate faster than the intrinsic rate for a selectedperiod of time immediately after delivering therapy to terminate thefibrillation. Ventricular backup pacing in VVI mode may also be providedduring the atrial pacing.
