A method and apparatus for treating atrial tachyarrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation. High energy pulses are delivered between electrodes located in the right atrium/SVC, the right ventricle and the coronary sinus/great vein, with the right ventricular and coronary sinus/great vein electrodes connected in common. Optionally a subcutaneous electrode, preferably located in the left pectoral area may also be employed, coupled in common to the right atrial/SVC electrode. |
