This editorial discusses the feasibility and clinical necessity of developing an implantable atrial defibrillator for recurrent symptomatic atrial fibrillation, prompted by early preclinical success in sheep models.
Lévy et al. (1993) conducted an editorial in Atrial fibrillation. Implantable atrial defibrillator was evaluated. In an acute sheep model of atrial fibrillation, an implantable atrial defibrillator restored sinus rhythm using 1.3±0.4J of energy with a biphasic waveform.
