1. An atrial cardioverter comprising:

  • means for monitoring an interval between successive R-waves;

    means for calculating at least one mean for the successive R-waves;

    means for prolongation of an interval between the successive R-waves;

    means for identifying a reproducible interval;

    means for activating a capacitor charge upon confirmation of presence of the reproducible interval;

    means for confirming presence of at least one atrial fibrillation episode upon completion of the capacitor charge; and

    means for delivering a ventricular synchronized atrial cardioversion shock.
