Abstract
Implantable systems and method for use therewith are provided that take advantage of various neuromodulation and neurosensing techniques for either preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) or terminating AF. Specific embodiments are for use with an implantable device that includes one or more atrial electrode for sensing atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or delivering Atrial Anti-Tachycardia Pacing (AATP) and one or more electrode for monitoring and/or stimulating atrial vagal fat pads.
