Implantable automatic defibrillators deliver ventricular antitachycardia pacing and ventricular defibrillation for automated treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. These devices are used to resynchronise the right and left ventricles in patients with congestive heart failure and to detect atrial tachyarrhythmias associated with increased stroke risk in elderly and hypertensive patients.
