An implantable atrial defibrillator includes a cardiovertor for applying cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of a heart when the atria are in need of cardioversion. The defibrillator further includes a pacer for pacing the atria of the heart immediately after each application of cardioverting electrical energy to the atria of the heart. A rate control commences the pacing at a relatively high first rate and gradually reduces the rate to a lower second rate.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 14, 1997 and granted June 19, 2001. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended May 14, 2017.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 14, 2019.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
