Supports optimized biphasic waveform development for lower-energy defibrillation; leaves open translation to human ICD use.
Do interleaved and common phase sequential biphasic shocks reduce defibrillation threshold energy compared to monophasic or single biphasic shocks in anesthetized pigs?
Interleaved and common phase sequential biphasic shocks significantly reduce defibrillation threshold energies compared to monophasic or single biphasic shocks in a porcine model.
