Abstract
The implantable atrial defibrillator is a new potential nonpharmacologic tr eatment for recurrent atrial fibrillation. The results of this study sugges t that a simplified lead configuration, with a single-pass, dual-electrode atrial defibrillation lead can be used for both atrial fibrillation detecti on and defibrillation with an implantable atrial defibrillator.
