A defibrillation system for providing post-cardiac surgery atrial cardioversion includes a lead system having defibrillation electrodes for electrical contact with the heart beneath the skin of a patient and a non-implantable external defibrillator for providing defibrillation electrical energy. An interface unit is coupled between the external defibrillator and the lead system and includes an attenuator circuit for attenuating the defibrillation electrical energy provided by the external defibrillator.
