The apparatus () includes one or more electrodes () that are adapted to be coupled to the heart, and a control unit () that is adapted to drive the electrodes to apply electrical pulses to the heart at a rate which is typically greater than about 10 Hz. The control unit terminates the electrical pulses, so that the heart beats without fibrillation. Other embodiments are also described.
