Automated reapplication of atrial pacing therapies |
April 5, 2005 |
| The invention relates to the use of atrial pacing therapies to treat atrial tachycardia (AT). When an AT episode is detected, an implantable medical device applies an ATP therapy. If the AT episode persists, the ATP therapy may be automatically reapplied at a later time during the course |

Method and arrangement for using atrial pacing to prevent early recurrence of atrial fibrillatio |
November 2, 2004 |
| A method for preventing early recurrence of atrial fibrillation by pacing a heart in AAI mode at a rate faster than the intrinsic rate for a selected period of time immediately after delivering therapy to terminate the fibrillation. Ventricular backup pacing in VVI mode may also be provi |

Arrangement and system for enabling patient control of electrical therapies |
October 12, 2004 |
| A patient-controlled system for temporarily disabling an electrical cardioverting therapy in order to prepare the patient psychologically and physiologically for the pain associated with electrical cardioversion therapy. In an example embodiment, the system includes a capacitive circ |
